Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Gibraltar & Cadiz

About this cruise

If you've got 15 nights to work with, this sailing from Barcelona on November 17, 2027 through Gibraltar, Cádiz and Arrecife, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You finish in Pointe-à-Pitre. With 8 sea days versus 7 in port, the ocean is a big part of this trip. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: United Kingdom, Spain, Sint Maarten, Martinique and Guadeloupe. Pointe-à-Pitre alone is worth the trip, Guadeloupe's butterfly-shaped wonder. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
