28 DAYS. ONE INCREDIBLE EUROPEAN JOURNEY. 🇵🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷🇲🇹🇬🇷🇭🇷🇲🇪🇸🇮🇮🇹
This one is BIG.
For 2028, we wanted to put together something that could be so much more than a single cruise — three back-to-back sailings aboard Norwegian Pearl, creating one incredible 28-day journey from Philadelphia all the way to Athens.
And the best part? You don’t have to do all 28 days.
Choose the leg that speaks to you. Combine two. Or unpack once and come along for the entire adventure.
LEG ONE • THE ATLANTIC CROSSING
April 9–23 | Philadelphia → Barcelona | 14 Days
We leave from Philadelphia and cross the Atlantic, with stops in Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Lisbon, Cádiz/Seville, Motril, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca and Marseille, before arriving in Barcelona.
Portugal. Spain. France. The Azores. The Mediterranean. And no flight to Europe required to begin the adventure.
LEG TWO • THE ADRIATIC
April 23–30 | Barcelona → Venice | 7 Days
From Barcelona, we continue to Valletta, Malta; Corfu, Greece; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Kotor, Montenegro; and Koper, Slovenia, before arriving in Venice (Ravenna), Italy.
This is an absolutely beautiful itinerary — seven countries in seven days, with some of the most spectacular coastline in Europe.
LEG THREE • THE GREEK ISLES
April 30–May 7 | Venice → Athens | 7 Days
And then we finish with Dubrovnik, Kotor, Olympia, Mykonos and Santorini, arriving in Athens.
Croatia and Montenegro followed by Greece — and Mykonos and Santorini are both included.
ONE SHIP. THREE SAILINGS. 28 DAYS.
Sail one. Sail two. Or make it all 28 days.
I already have travellers booked on the individual legs — and quite a few who have decided that if they’re going all the way to Europe, they’re staying for the adventure.
AND — one more reason to get your name in this weekend!
Our prize draws happen Monday!
Anyone booked on ANY leg of our European Grand Voyage before the draw will be entered — and if you’re joining us for more than one sailing, you’re still part of the fun!
If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is a pretty good weekend to make it official!
Prizes include $500 air gift card, $340 cruise credit, and a few of my favourite travel accessories! 😀
If one — or all three — catches your eye, send me a private message with your email address and which leg(s) you’re interested in.
As always, wishing you smooth sailing,
Christina & Chad
