Navigator's Wake – Barcelona, Ponta Delgada & New York

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 31, 2027 and visits Barcelona, Cartagena Spain, Málaga, Ponta Delgada and New York. Last stop: New York. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Portugal and United States, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Málaga tends to be the one people talk about: Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Odyssey Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
