Cobblestone to Liberty – Valletta, Alicante & Motril
About this cruise
You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 13 nights from Ravenna on November 1, 2026, visiting Valletta, Alicante, Motril and Philadelphia. Disembarkation is in Philadelphia. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Malta, Spain and United States, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Pearl keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Ravenna and come back with stories from Malta, Spain and United States.
