Pillar of Hercules – Gibraltar, Casablanca & Canaries
About this cruise
This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 16 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on November 17, 2026, visiting Palma de Mallorca, Gibraltar, Casablanca, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Santa Cruz de la Palma and Fort Lauderdale. You get off in Fort Lauderdale, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, United Kingdom, Morocco and United States, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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, Enchanted Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 16 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
