Mediterranean Getaway – Tunisia & Sicily

About this cruise

8 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Barcelona on July 17, 2027 visits La Goulette (Tunis), Palermo, Naples, Ajaccio and Marseille and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Tunisia, Italy and France. Keep an eye out for Ajaccio: Napoleon's birthplace on Corsican shores. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 15 restaurants on Carnival Sunshine, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 8 nights well spent.
