Florida to Barcelona: 5-Star Transatlantic Cruise
This 15-night Ocean Cruise offers a wonderful opportunity for Irish holidaymakers to experience a grand voyage across the Atlantic. Starting with a flight from Dublin to Fort Lauderdale, you will enjoy a one-night hotel stay in Florida before boarding the 5-star Sun Princess. This Florida Barcelona cruise is designed for those who appreciate the slower pace of a transatlantic crossing combined with the excitement of visiting the Canary Islands and the Spanish coast.
Onboard the Sun Princess, you will find a range of modern facilities that make the sea days fly by. The heartbeat of the ship is the Piazza, a multi-level space built inside a sphere of glass that offers incredible ocean views. For entertainment, the Dome is a standout feature, acting as a pool area by day and a stage for spectacular acrobatic performances by night. Families and active travellers will also enjoy Park19, which offers various activities from climbing to lounging, all set against the backdrop of the open sea. Dining is a highlight of the trip, with full-board service providing a variety of high-quality meals included in your holiday price.
The itinerary is thoughtfully organised to balance relaxation and discovery. After eight days of crossing the Atlantic, you will arrive at Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Here, you can enjoy the sub-tropical climate and explore the wide avenues and historic squares of the city. As you move into the Mediterranean, you will visit Cartagena, a city steeped in Roman and naval history, followed by the stunning city of Palma de Mallorca. Palma is home to a magnificent Gothic Cathedral and a labyrinth of medieval streets perfect for a leisurely afternoon walk. The journey concludes in the vibrant city of Barcelona.

Itinerary
1-2Florida Barcelona cruise Arrival and Embarkation+
Upon arrival in Florida, Irish holidaymakers will be transferred to a local hotel for a one-night stay. This provides a restful start before your adventure begins. The following morning, you will be transferred to the port in Fort Lauderdale to board the 5-star Sun Princess, your home for the next 14 nights.

Enjoy eight relaxing days at sea as the Sun Princess makes its way across the Atlantic. This is the perfect time for Irish guests to explore the ship's many facilities, including the glass-enclosed Dome, the various dining rooms, and the multi-level Piazza. Whether you want to lounge by the pool or enjoy the entertainment programmes, these sea days offer a true escape from the routine of daily life.
11Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands+
Your first port of call is Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands. You can walk along the wide, tree-lined avenues known as ramblas that lead to the central Plaza de España. Explore the historic churches like the 18th-century Iglesia del Pilar or visit the Garcìa Sanabria park to see outdoor sculptures by famous artists. The Parque Marìtimo, designed by Cèsar Manrique, is another highlight with its lava rock pools and palm trees.

Spend two more days at sea as the ship enters the Mediterranean. This is an ideal opportunity to revisit your favourite onboard spots, perhaps enjoying a performance in the Princess Arena or taking in the views from the Park19 adventure area. Relax and prepare for the upcoming Spanish ports of call.
14Historic Cartagena, Spain+
Arrive in Cartagena, a city with a deep naval history. Once the capital for Hannibal on the Iberian peninsula, the city is filled with narrow medieval streets, bars, and restaurants. History enthusiasts can visit the Museo Nacional de Arqueología Subacuática to see a reconstructed Roman galley or explore the Museo Archeológico Municipal, built on an ancient Roman burial ground.
15Palma de Mallorca City Visit+
Palma is a beautiful city built from honey-coloured stone. Its history stretches back to the Romans and Moors, and it is dominated by the awe-inspiring Gothic Cathedral at its heart. Holidaymakers from Ireland can spend the day wandering through medieval streets, visiting aristocratic townhouses, and exploring the vibrant local markets and bohemian neighbourhoods.
