Mediterranean Grand Tour – Barcelona to Ravenna

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on July 30, 2027 and spend 9 nights visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You finish in Ravenna. Every single day is a port day. 9 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Viva launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Barcelona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
