Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Palma De Mallorca & Valencia

About this cruise

7 nights, 7 ports, all from Barcelona on August 16, 2026. The route visits Palma de Mallorca, Valencia and Motril, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and the whole thing just flows. You wind up in Lisbon, so it's worth planning a night or two there. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, United Kingdom, Morocco and Portugal. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Dawn takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
