Mediterranean Grandeur – Riviera to Rome

About this cruise

There's a reason 10-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on August 22, 2027 and visits Marseille, Genoa and Livorno (Florence/Pisa), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The trip wraps in Civitavecchia (Rome), so you won't retrace your steps. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from France to Tunisia. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Sunshine has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 10-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
