Mediterranean Getaway – Riviera & Rome

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on August 23, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Marseille, Cannes, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Messina, Salerno and Civitavecchia (Rome), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You get off in Civitavecchia (Rome), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Don't rush through Civitavecchia (Rome), which is known as The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Epic has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 6 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
