Ocean Discovery – La Coruna, Bilbao & Le Verdon

About this cruise

You board in Southampton on October 7, 2028 for 7 nights visiting A Coruña, Bilbao, Le Verdon-sur-Mer and Cherbourg, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Don't rush through Bilbao, which is known as The Guggenheim's titanium curves above the Nervión. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 8 restaurants on Sky Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Southampton 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. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
