Mediterranean Escape – Barcelona & Rome

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on September 13, 2027 and visits Toulon, Ajaccio, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Catania and Ravenna. You wind up in Ravenna, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. 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, You won't go hungry on Explorer Of The Seas. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
