Ocean Discovery – Tarragona, Cadiz & Motril

About this cruise

You sail from Tarragona on October 4, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Cádiz, Motril, Gibraltar, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The trip wraps in Barcelona, so you won't retrace your steps. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Dawn, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
