Mediterranean Grandeur – Riviera & Adriatic

About this cruise

10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Barcelona on June 27, 2027 visits Marseille, Genoa and Corfu, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and doesn't try to cram in too much. You wind up in Civitavecchia (Rome), so it's worth planning a night or two there. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Dubrovnik stands out. It's The pearl of the Adriatic. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Sunshine takes the food seriously, with 15 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
