9 days, round-trip 9 Night Italy and French Riviera Cruise

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on August 22, 2026 visits Catania, Naples, Ajaccio, Cannes and Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Keep an eye out for Naples: Chaos, pizza, and passion beneath Vesuvius. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Your ship is Scarlet Lady, sailing under the Virgin Voyages flag. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 9 nights well spent.
