Voyage Description Step aboard the Santa Maria Manuela in Barcelona for a five-night Mediterranean voyage bound for the Balearic Islands. Arrive early to explore the Gothic Quarter, discover Gaudí’s architecture, or enjoy the city’s vibrant culinary scene before boarding.

Leaving Barcelona behind, we set course for Menorca, with plenty of time to settle into the rhythm of life at sea. Help the crew handle the sails, take the helm for a spell, or find a comfortable spot on deck to enjoy the journey. No prior sailing experience is necessary, and participation is entirely optional.

The entry into Mahón is a highlight in itself, as we glide into its long natural harbor lined with waterfront buildings and historic fortifications along the shore. Our port call offers the opportunity to stroll through the town streets, pause at a local cafe, and take in the harbor views.

Back on board, we continue toward Mallorca, sharing meals and stories as the journey unfolds. Our voyage ends in Palma, where staying a little longer gives you time to explore the seafront cathedral, shaded courtyards, and winding streets of the old town.

Weather Early April typically brings mild spring days, with daytime temperatures ranging between 16°C and 20°C, cooler nights, and a mix of sunshine and occasional showers. Winds can be strong, especially around Menorca, so be sure to pack warm clothing and a windproof, waterproof jacket for when you are on deck.
