Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Tangier & Casablanca

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on September 25, 2027 for 9 nights visiting Tangier, Casablanca, Funchal, Leixões (Porto) and Lisbon, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. Disembarkation is in Lisbon. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Leixões (Porto), Port wine cellars on the Douro's banks. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mariner Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
