Golden Riviera – Marseille to Palma

About this cruise

By May 1, 2028 you'll be ready for this. 9 nights out of Barcelona, visiting Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Villefranche-sur-Mer, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Spain. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Dawn, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
