Lisbon to Barcelona – Gibraltar & Ibiza
This wonderful 7-night Lisbon to Barcelona cruise offers Irish travellers a fantastic opportunity to explore the sun-drenched coastlines of Portugal and Spain. Sailing onboard the recently refurbished Norwegian Dawn, this Escorted Tour is designed for those who appreciate value without compromising on the experience. Your journey begins in Lisbon, where the traditional sounds of Fado music fill the air, before you set sail for a series of unforgettable Mediterranean destinations. From the rugged cliffs of the Algarve to the historic streets of Catalonia, every day brings a new discovery.
Onboard the Norwegian Dawn, you can enjoy a variety of dining options, including the upscale Mexican flavours of Los Lobos Cantina or wine tasting at The Cellars. The ship is organised to provide a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, featuring a casino, jogging tracks with sunrise views, and evening entertainment that caters perfectly to a mature audience. For those looking to enhance their trip, the ‘More At Sea’ package is a great value addition, offering inclusive drinks, speciality dining, and shore excursion credits.
Throughout this Lisbon to Barcelona cruise, you will visit iconic locations such as Portimão, where you can choose between off-road mountain adventures or exploring the ancient ruins of Silves Castle. The stop in Cádiz allows for a full immersion into Andalusian culture, while Motril offers a more relaxed pace with its sandy beaches and historic churches. A major highlight is undoubtedly Gibraltar, home to Europe’s only wild monkey population, the Barbary Macaques. You will also have ample time to soak up the atmosphere in Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca, exploring everything from Gothic cathedrals to scenic coastal trails. With flights from Dublin, transfers, and 20kg of check-in luggage all included, this is a straightforward and well-organised holiday that ensures you can focus entirely on enjoying the sights and sounds of the Mediterranean.
