Oceanic Meridians – Lisbon, Madeira & Tenerife

About this cruise

15 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Southampton on October 26, 2027 and the route takes you through Vigo, Lisbon, Funchal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Fort Lauderdale at a pace where there's never any need to rush. The trip wraps in Fort Lauderdale, so you won't retrace your steps. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Portugal and United States, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Lisbon: Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sky Princess keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Southampton before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 15 nights well spent.
