This 10-night Mediterranean (Western) cruise aboard the Crystal Serenity by Crystal Cruises sails from Lisbon to Barcelona, departing September 29, 2028, calling at Portimao, Tangier, Melilla, and 5 more ports, and returns October 9, 2028. Cabin prices start from $8,200 per person.
Lisbon cruise port is one of the most atmospheric arrivals in Europe. Ships sail up the Tagus River past the 25 de Abril Bridge (a near-twin of San Francisco's Golden Gate) and the Christ the King statue, with the city rising up on seven hills to the north.
Tangier sits at the northwestern tip of Africa, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic and Morocco looks across the Strait of Gibraltar at Spain, just 14 km away. The city has about 1.
La Goulette is the cruise port serving Tunis, Tunisia's capital, located on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa about 12 kilometers northeast of the city center. The port sits at the entrance to the Lake of Tunis, a shallow lagoon separating La Goulette from downtown.
Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, Italy's second-largest island, on the island's southern coast. The cruise port (Porto di Cagliari) sits directly at the edge of the old town, about a 10-minute walk from Piazza Matteotti and the base of the historic Castello district.
Marseille cruise port is France's busiest and one of the major stops on western Mediterranean itineraries. The city is France's second largest and its oldest, founded by Greek sailors over 2,600 years ago, and it has a rougher, more authentic edge than the polished Riviera towns further east.
Barcelona cruise port is the busiest in the Mediterranean, handling millions of passengers a year across multiple terminals. The city behind it earns that traffic.
