Dreamy Mediterranean – Rome, Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on August 1, 2027, visiting Salerno, Catania, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille and Barcelona. Disembarkation is in Barcelona. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Epic, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Civitavecchia (Rome) and come back with stories from Italy, France and Spain.
