Mediterranean Magic – Barcelona & Zadar

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on May 8, 2027 for 7 nights visiting La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Zadar and Ravenna, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You wind up in Ravenna, 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. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Salerno stands out. It's The gateway to the Amalfi Coast's vertical beauty. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Brilliance Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
