Azure Wake – Marseille, Naples & Santorini

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Barcelona on March 19, 2026 visits Marseille, Genoa and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The trip wraps in Piraeus (Athens), so you won't retrace your steps. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Italy, Greece and Türkiye. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Genoa: Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 9 nights well spent.
