Creator's Key Takeaways

this was our third cruise with the line and now we return to them as they were actually the first line we cruised with

sadly the answer to that must be no overall as the experience was much different on board this ship

this was a port intensive Cruise of the Iberian Peninsula

Cadiz is a wonderful City and somewhere that we would love to explore

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research ports thoroughly as some may not be cruise-friendly
Be prepared for long walks from the dock to town centers
Use the indulged food hall for quick bites on port-intensive days

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to CruiseHols trip report for our recent repositioning cruise onboard the Norwegian Prima that took us from Southampton to Barcelona. On a port intensive cruise, we visited Le Havre, Le Verdon (both France), La Coruna, Vigo, Cadiz/Seville, Motril/Granada, Valencia (All Spain), Lisbon (Portugal), Ibiza Town (Ibiza) and Palma De Mallorca (Majorca) in the Balearics before ending our journey at the port of Barcelona in Spain. In this first part of our trip review, we take you through our cruise before reaching the Mediterranean Sea including the French ports, La Coruna, Vigo and Cadiz in Spain as well as Lisboa in Portugal. Along the way we had some great moments, some bad moments and plenty in-between with the NCL Prima itself been a mix of good, bad and indifferent. If you are looking to take an Iberian cruise, are wanting to sail onboard the Norwegian Prima or you are just looking for inspiration for your next cruise, this is the video for you as we take you on a day by day run through of our adventure. We sailed onboard the Norwegian Prima in October 2023 from the brand new Horizon Cruise Terminal at the port of Southampton in England.
