About this Journey
From Barcelona, With Love
This is not a fast-paced cruise or a party sailing. This transatlantic journey is designed for couples who want to slow down, be present, and reconnect — with each other and with the world around them.
With extended sea days, intentional gatherings, and time to explore unforgettable destinations, this sailing creates space for meaningful conversation, shared experiences, and quiet moments that matter.
Hosted by Shannon and Wendell of Black Love Black Travel, this journey blends freedom with gentle structure — never over-programmed, always intentional.
The Journey: Ports of Call
This journey balances meaningful time ashore with unhurried days at sea. Each port was chosen for its culture, beauty, and rhythm — places that invite exploration without rushing, curiosity without pressure, and moments you’ll carry long after you return home. Whether you wander hand in hand, explore independently, or simply take in the atmosphere, every stop adds depth to the experience.

Casablanca, Morocco
A cultural highlight rich with history, color, and architectural wonder.
