Sun-Drenched Azulejos – Madeira, Lisbon & Tenerife

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 18 nights from Bremerhaven on December 23, 2026, visiting Le Havre (Paris), Leixões (Porto) and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from France to Spain. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mein Schiff 3 has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
