Ocean Discovery – Cadiz, Lisbon & Funchal

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 11 nights from Barcelona on May 22, 2028, visiting Cádiz, Lisbon, Funchal, Casablanca and Palma de Mallorca. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal and Morocco. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Cádiz: Europe's oldest city, still dancing flamenco. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Xcel launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 11 nights well spent.
