Seven Seas Grandeur: 14-Night Cruise from Miami - April 14, 2027

With roughly 6 hours hours in Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda - arriving at 9:00 AM and departing at 3:00 PM - you'll want to be strategic. A ship-arranged shore excursion is a smart choice here - the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Stick to attractions close to the port. You can explore maritime history, enjoy waterfront dining, or head out to beaches and charming towns nearby.

Arriving in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal at 11:30 AM with only 6 hours hours before your 6:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Visit the twin lakes of Sete Cidades, located in a massive volcanic caldera.

As a smaller vessel, the Seven Seas Grandeur means a quicker disembarkation in Malaga, Spain - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. This Moorish citadel offers panoramic views over Malaga and the harbor.

Your ship arrives in Cadiz (Seville), Spain at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Cadiz's historic center is compact and ideal for wandering.

Your cruise ends in Lisbon, Portugal, where the Seven Seas Grandeur is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Wear comfortable walking shoes for hilly streets and cobblestones.
