Ocean Discovery – Lisbon, Gran Canaria & Mindelo

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Lisbon on November 1, 2027 and visits Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Mindelo, Tortola, Great Stirrup Cay and Miami. Disembarkation is in Miami. More sea than shore on this one, with 9 days on the water between stops. It's a proper Canary Islands tour: 5 countries, from Spain to United States. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Viva (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. 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.
