Trade Wind Crossing – Tenerife, Tangier & Malaga

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from La Romana on March 7, 2027 through Philipsburg, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tangier, Málaga and Barcelona is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. The sailing ends in Barcelona. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 5 port calls clustered in the middle. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Sint Maarten, Spain and Morocco. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Philipsburg: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 113,321 gross tons, Costa Fascinosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
