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

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Palma de Mallorca on September 8, 2027 visits Ajaccio, Civitavecchia (Rome), La Spezia, Marseille and Barcelona 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. 3 countries (France, Italy and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff Flow (2026) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 9 nights well spent.
