7 nights - Highlights of the Western Mediterranean - from/to Palma

About this cruise

This one leaves Palma de Mallorca on November 8, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), La Spezia, Marseille and Barcelona at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. With 4 port days and 2 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, France and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Mein Schiff 4 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Palma de Mallorca has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
