drmarg Posted June 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I am looking for a small ship cruise that will include both Spain and Portugal or alternatively separate cruises to these countries that could be booked back to back. Would appreciate any recommendations. Traveling in 2018. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamomo Posted June 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2017 You might want to check the itineraries offered for the Pacific Princess. She is a small ship .... about 670 passengers, and I love cruising on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted June 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Check the luxury lines, and the European lines that Americans never hear about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted June 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 1, 2017 There's quite a few smaller ships which sail from Southampton to Spain and Portugal; try looking at Fred Olsen, Cruise and Maritime, and the smaller P&O ships. Sometimes they will continue down the peninsula and add Gibraltar or Morocco; some may touch ports in France such as La Rochelle, or Guernsey in the Channel Isles. Also check Saga, although you have to be 50 yrs to sail with them Most of the ships are not family friendly, but are for adults only, although Fred O does take children on most cruises.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted June 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Voyages to Antiquity may have 1-2 sailings a year that would include Portuguese and Spanish ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted June 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2017 There's a cruise on P&O's Adonia (same build as Pacific Princess) in Sept 2018, which covers Praia da Rocha, Seville (it will be beautiful Cadiz, I suppose), Valencia, Mahon (Minorca), Malaga, Gibraltar and Lisbon. That's from Southampton; 2 Portuguese, the rest Spain-including a Balearic island- and then Gib, which is UK There will be others by the rest of the cruise lines, with more or less nights away. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Otstr Posted June 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Grand Circle does. Their ship, the Corinthian, holds 90 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmarg Posted June 3, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Wow - what great information about cruise lines I didn't know about. Thank you all. If at all possible I'd like to go back to the river cruise size of ship, 200 or fewer passengers. I am familiar with Grand Circle having taken their Dalmatian coast trip in 2013 (and had a great experience).
