Sun-Drenched Crossing – Madeira, Ibiza & Barcelona

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Port Canaveral on April 18, 2027 visits Funchal, Motril, Cartagena Spain, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. You get off in Barcelona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. 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. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Epic. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. 14 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. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
