Sailor’s Lullaby – Gibraltar & Malta

About this cruise

Block out 11 nights from October 31, 2028 and let this sailing from Lisbon do its thing. The route covers Cádiz, Gibraltar and Barcelona, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Disembarkation is in Civitavecchia (Rome). In between port days, the 3 sea days are where cruise life actually happens: reading, eating, napping, repeat. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Spain to Italy. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Palma de Mallorca, A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Rotterdam has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
