A true ocean crossing invites you to slow down: settle into the ship, find your favorite table, watch the Atlantic change color, then step ashore in the Azores, Madeira, Morocco, and Spain. Valiant Lady’s 14-night Miami-to-Barcelona Transatlantic voyage departs April 16, 2028 and arrives April 30.
Miami: Start with an easy embarkation day. If you can, arrive early to enjoy the waterfront, Wynwood’s murals, and a taste of Little Havana.
Days at sea: Transatlantic sea days are a feature, not a filler. Sleep in, linger over brunch, try a new restaurant, book a group fitness class, or claim a quiet deck chair and watch the horizon roll by.
Ponta Delgada, Azores: On São Miguel, stroll the city’s black-and-white pavements and gardens, or head inland for volcanic lakes, emerald crater landscapes, and thermal springs.
Funchal, Madeira: Wander the market and waterfront, ride the cable car above the city, and soak in Madeira’s gardens and dramatic island views.
Tangier, Morocco: Follow the medina’s winding lanes, browse the souks, pause for mint tea, and take in the meeting point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean. A guided outing can help you make the most of a shorter call.
Barcelona: End in Spain with the option to extend your stay for Gaudí architecture, tapas, and the Gothic Quarter.
