Ocean Discovery – Fort Lauderdale, Kings Wharf & Casablanca

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from April 16, 2028. This one's 15 nights from Fort Lauderdale, and the route visits Kings Wharf, Casablanca and Gibraltar, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. You finish in Barcelona. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Bermuda, Morocco, United Kingdom and Spain. 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, Celebrity Xcel joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
