Westward Tradewinds – Funchal & Tenerife

About this cruise

15 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Barcelona on November 10, 2028 and the route takes you through Málaga, Gibraltar, Arrecife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Funchal and Fort Lauderdale at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You get off in Fort Lauderdale, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. 4 countries (Spain, United Kingdom, Portugal and United States) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Gibraltar, which is known as A British rock at the mouth of the Mediterranean. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sun Princess launched in 2024, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 6 ports across 15 nights covers a lot.
