Breathtaking Mediterranean – Rome, Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 24, 2027 visits Salerno, Catania, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille and Barcelona. You finish in Barcelona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. Livorno (Florence/Pisa) alone is worth the trip, Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
