Mediterranean Riviera – Rome & Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on August 16, 2027 visits La Spezia, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Santa Margherita Ligure, Marseille, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona and doesn't try to cram in too much. The trip wraps in Barcelona, so you won't retrace your steps. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Palma de Mallorca: A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Explorer Of The Seas. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
