Nomad's Compass – Rome, Lisbon & Copenhagen

About this cruise

If you've got 16 nights to work with, this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on April 20, 2028 through Cagliari, Málaga and Cádiz, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You wind up in Copenhagen, so it's worth planning a night or two there. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 9 countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Le Havre (Paris) stands out. It's Normandy's port, Paris's gateway to the sea. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Caribbean Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
