8 days, round-trip 8 Night Italy and French Riviera Cruise

About this cruise

By July 11, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 8 nights out of Barcelona, visiting Marseille, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Catania and Palermo, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Valiant Lady. 12 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
