Join us before the cruise

Before we set sail from Barcelona on 2 November 2026, there's an optional pre-union week in the city from 26 October. We'd recommend coming early if you can - it's a relaxed way to meet the other cruisers before the ship even leaves, so you arrive already knowing a few faces. Join for the full week or just the last few days, whatever suits you.
