7 nights - La dolce vita - from/to Palma

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Palma de Mallorca on October 25, 2026 visits Palermo, Salerno, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Ajaccio. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. People come back from this cruise talking about Palermo: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 11 restaurants on Mein Schiff 4, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Palma de Mallorca itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 4 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
