P&O Azura Repositioning 2026: Cartagena Port Day & Sea Day to Tangier

Our day ashore in Cartagena, followed by the sail across to Tangier aboard P&O Azura — part of the 2026 repositioning itinerary. Cartagena is one of those ports where the ship docks close enough that you can step off and be in the middle of town within a few minutes. No shuttle, no planning required. We spent the morning walking the old town and the Roman theatre, then came back aboard before the heat built up. The sailing to Tangier is a quieter stretch, and we've covered what the sea time actually looks like on Azura — where to sit, what's open, and how the ship settles into its rhythm once the Spanish coast drops away. A thought worth passing on: Cartagena's cruise berth sits right at the marina, so there's no real advantage to being first off. If the gangway queue looks long, waiting half an hour tends to make the walk into town noticeably more pleasant.
