Cobblestone & Azure – Dubrovnik, Rome & Villefranche

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 9-night sailing from Ravenna on October 5, 2026 visits Dubrovnik, Bar and Salerno, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in Barcelona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 5 countries (Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Palma de Mallorca, A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Viva launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
