Bewitching Mediterranean – Rome, Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) on June 21, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Salerno, Catania, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille and Barcelona, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You get off in Barcelona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Epic, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Civitavecchia (Rome) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 6 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
