Sun-Bleached Ramparts – Tangier & Barcelona

About this cruise

This one leaves Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on April 2, 2027 and spends 6 nights visiting Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tangier, Barcelona and Marseille at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. Disembarkation is in Marseille. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 4 stops with a breather between each one. 3 countries (Spain, Morocco and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Smeralda: 5,224 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and come back with stories from Spain, Morocco and France.
