Sunlit Meridian – Tenerife & Barcelona

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Fort Lauderdale on March 28, 2027, visiting Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Cartagena Spain, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. You wind up in Barcelona, so it's worth planning a night or two there. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. 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, Sun Princess launched in 2024, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
