Cobalt Bays – Villefranche, Palermo & Ibiza

About this cruise

You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) on April 28, 2027 for 9 nights visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Salerno, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. The trip wraps in Barcelona, 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in France, Italy and Spain, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Palermo: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Prima keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 9 nights well spent.
