Ocean Discovery – Palma De Mallorca, Gibraltar & Gran Canaria

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Palma de Mallorca on October 22, 2027, visiting Gibraltar, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, St. John's, Philipsburg, Tortola and La Romana. Disembarkation is in La Romana. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 6 borders through the Caribbean: United Kingdom, Spain, Antigua & Barbuda, Netherlands, British Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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, Mein Schiff 3 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Palma de Mallorca has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Palma de Mallorca and come back with stories from United Kingdom, Spain, Antigua & Barbuda, Netherlands, British Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic.
