Cobblestone & Colonnade – Genoa, Ephesus & Athens

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from April 16, 2028. This one's 14 nights from Barcelona, and the route visits Palma de Mallorca, Marseille and Genoa, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The sailing ends in Piraeus (Athens). The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 5 countries (Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Türkiye) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 14-night sailing is a strong place to start.
