Old World Transits – Madeira, Ibiza & Villefranche

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 17 nights from San Juan on April 4, 2027, visiting Ponta Delgada, Funchal and Melilla, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in Civitavecchia (Rome). The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Portugal, Spain, France and Italy. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Prima has 15 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 17 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in San Juan and come back with stories from Portugal, Spain, France and Italy.
