Azure Basalt & Bastions – Marseille, Corsica & Rome

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Barcelona on October 10, 2026, visiting Ibiza, Marseille, Ajaccio, Genoa, La Spezia and Civitavecchia (Rome). The sailing ends in Civitavecchia (Rome). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, France and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Ajaccio: Napoleon's birthplace on Corsican shores. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sun Princess (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 6 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
