Cruise out of Barcelona, but flight LAX-LIS, CDG-LAX
Hi,
I have an upcoming cruise out of Barcelona this summer. However, since I have never been to this part of Europe, I am thinking of flying into LIS and stay a day. Then take a one way fright from LIS to BCN and visit a couple of days before the cruise departs. Once the cruise returns to Barcelona, I plan on flying to CDG (Paris) and visit a couple of days before flying back to LAX.
What do you think of this idea? I have a US passport, so I assume no visa is necessary for visiting these countries, right?
Any thoughts/input on my plan is much appreciated. Thankjks.

CaptainMiles,
Thank you for your response. As it turned out, I ended up booking a mulitiple destination ticket from LAX to CDG and then return LIS to LAX.
In between I will take a one way ticket from CDG to BCN. Then once I return to port in Barcelona, I will fly from BCN to LIS and spend a day in Lisbon before flying back to LA from LIS the next day.
This actually turned out cheaper than had a booked a RT ticket from LAX to BCN, let alone needing to get additional transportation from Barcelona to Paris and Lisbon.
