VACAYA Total Eclipse Med Cruise 2026
9 nights · 10 ports · Celebrity Equinox
VACAYA's first big Mediterranean cruise takes you nine nights on the Celebrity Equinox across two continents. From Barcelona it goes to Ibiza, Tangier in Morocco as well as Lisbon and Porto. The crowning highlight is a total solar eclipse off A Coruña. In between, you can expect days at sea, cultural shore excursions and the typical VACAYA inclusive program of parties and relaxing moments. (As of research: sold out, waiting list.)
Itinerary
The Catalan metropolis on the Mediterranean fascinates you with Gaudí's Sagrada Família, the lively promenade La Rambla and the Gothic old quarter.
The Balearic island in the Mediterranean Sea is famous for its legendary nightlife, but it also surprises you with the charming old town of Dalt Vila and hidden coves.
Today you will enjoy a relaxing day on the high seas. Use the time for the on-board offers, to sunbathe on deck or simply to relax with a view of the sea.
The Moroccan port city at the gateway to the Strait of Gibraltar combines African and European flair. The medina, lively souks and the location above the strait are fascinating.
Portugal's capital stretches over seven hills on the Tagus River. Historic trams, the Alfama district, the Torre de Belém and fado sounds make up the city's special charm.
Leixões is the seaport of Porto in northern Portugal. From here you can reach the UNESCO old town with its azulejo-decorated buildings, the Ribeira and the famous port wine cellars.
The Galician port city in northwestern Spain attracts you with the famous Tower of Hercules, a curved beach promenade and a lively old town on the Atlantic Ocean.

Frequently asked questions
How does an LGBT cruise differ from a regular one?
As a rule the entire ship is chartered — a 100% queer crowd with its own programme of DJs, drag shows and themed parties.
What is usually included?
Cabin, full board, entertainment and pool are mostly included. Premium drinks, spa and shore excursions are usually charged separately.
Is the trip suitable for solo travellers?
Yes — the solo share is high on many trips, and there are often dedicated solo meet-ups on board.
What are the cancellation terms?
That depends on the operator. You will find the exact deadlines and conditions directly with the provider.
What about safety when docking in restrictive countries?
The operators are careful about route choices. At controversial ports, shore excursions are curated thoughtfully.
