Mediterranean Jewels – Rome, Malta & Dubrovnik

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 19, 2026, visiting Naples, Messina, Valletta, Dubrovnik, Split and Ravenna. You finish in Ravenna. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Malta and Croatia. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 8 restaurants on Brilliance Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
