Cobblestone & Azure – Dubrovnik, Rome & Villefranche

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 9-night sailing from Ravenna on October 5, 2026 visits Dubrovnik, Bar and Salerno, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Barcelona, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, France and Spain. Palma de Mallorca stands out. It's A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Viva joined the Norwegian Cruise Line's lineup in 2023. Still has that new-ship feel. Ravenna 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. All in all, it's a solid trip.
