Coastal Mediterranean Riviera – Rome & Barcelona

About this cruise

You sail from Civitavecchia (Rome) on June 14, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting La Spezia, Santa Margherita Ligure, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. Last stop: Barcelona. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 8 restaurants on Explorer Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
