12 days, one-way from Barcelona to Civitavecchia-Rome

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Barcelona on August 10, 2026 through Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza and Cannes, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You get off in Civitavecchia (Rome), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, France and Italy. Don't rush through Salerno, which is known as The gateway to the Amalfi Coast's vertical beauty. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 13 restaurants on Scarlet Lady, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 12 nights. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 8 ports across 12 nights covers a lot.
