10 days, round-trip 10 Night Italy and French Riviera Cruise

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from Barcelona on September 2, 2027 visits Marseille, Cannes and Ajaccio, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Keep an eye out for Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You're on Resilient Lady, from Virgin Voyages. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 10 nights well spent.
