ITINERARY

If you've been craving something to look forward to, this might be it. It’s not just an ordinary cruise—it’s a well-earned pause, an invitation to slow down and savor every moment.

With stops in Spain, Madeira, and Bermuda, plus five serene days at sea, you'll have the perfect mix of discovery and relaxation. If you’re someone who seeks relaxation with sheer luxury, it’s a golden opportunity to treat yourself without hesitation.

Let me walk you through the highlights, and why this trip is worth making time for.

Seven Seas Mariner

Voyage dates: November 26 – December 10, 2025

Day 1: Board in one of Europe’s most iconic cities; Barcelona. Spend the day soaking in Gaudí’s architecture and a final café con leche before departure.

Day 2: Ease into vacation mode. Explore the ship, indulge in a spa day, or enjoy a quiet morning with ocean views and room service while cruising the Mediterranean.

Pro Tip: Many cruisers recommend exploring the ship early to familiarize yourself with its amenities. Consider booking spa treatments or specialty dining reservations, as these services can fill up quickly.

Day 3: Stroll the charming old town or take a tour to Granada’s breathtaking Alhambra Palace. This sun-kissed region rarely disappoints.

Malaga City Hall, Spain

Day 4: The rhythm of the ocean will reset your pace. Join a wine tasting, read by the pool, or try one of the specialty restaurants on board while cruising the Atlantic. 

Day 5: Explore the island of gardens and dramatic coastlines; Funchal. Take a cable car ride or sip local Madeira wine as you watch the world drift by.

Day 6 to Day 11: Enjoy five glorious sea days to do as much or as little as you please. Sunrise yoga? Afternoon nap? Dancing under the stars? All of it is yours.

Pro Tip: Mid-cruise sea days are ideal for relaxation and self-care. Many experienced cruisers suggest bringing along a personal project, like a knitting or crochet kit, to enjoy during these tranquil days.

Day 12 and Day 13: Spend two beautiful days exploring pastel streets, hidden coves, or simply enjoy that famous pink sand between your toes in Hamilton.

Pro Tip: Venture out in the morning to visit local attractions or enjoy the beaches, then return to the ship in the afternoon to take advantage of its amenities with fewer crowds.

Day 12: This is your final sea day. Reflect, relax, and maybe toast new friendships with a glass of champagne. ;)

Day 13: Wake up to the buzz of Miami. Whether heading home or staying on, you’ll disembark refreshed, recharged, and full of exciting stories.

ARE YOU IN?

Is This For You?

This trip is definitely for you if you…

  • Crave a break that actually feels like a break.

  • Want to wake up somewhere beautiful every day, without lifting a finger.

  • Love the idea of world-class meals, fine wine, and warm ocean breezes.

  • Enjoy having the freedom to explore new places or stay onboard and be pampered.

  • Have been saying, “We should really take that trip,” and mean it this time.

P.S. One of the best-kept secrets of this voyage? The overnight stay in Bermuda. Most ships just breeze through, but you’ll have time to explore the island by day and enjoy a balmy evening ashore.
