Moorish Tides – Madeira, Tangier & Rome

About this cruise

10 nights, 6 ports, all from Barcelona on June 26, 2027. The route visits Cartagena Spain, Tangier, Funchal, Málaga, Ajaccio and Civitavecchia (Rome) and the whole thing just flows. The sailing ends in Civitavecchia (Rome). Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Morocco, Portugal, France and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Celebrity Equinox takes the food seriously, with 10 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Barcelona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
