Nomad's Meridian – Walvis Bay, Mindelo & Barcelona

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 20-night sailing leaves Cape Town on March 24, 2027 and visits Walvis Bay, Mindelo and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Civitavecchia (Rome), so it's worth planning a night or two there. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Namibia, Cape Verde, Spain, France and Italy. Barcelona stands out. It's Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. At 2,260 guests, Costa Deliziosa has pools, shows, and a solid range of restaurants. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Cape Town itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
