14 Night Cruise from Barcelona
About this cruise
Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Barcelona on May 2, 2027 and visits Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca and Marseille, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Piraeus (Athens). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 12 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Türkiye. People come back from this cruise talking about Santa Margherita Ligure: Ligurian Riviera elegance, minus the crowds. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sun Princess (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. 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 May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 12 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
