Mediterranean to Florida – Rome, Marseille & Barcelona

About this cruise

If you've got 15 nights to work with, this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on November 1, 2026 through Marseille, Barcelona, Cádiz, Nassau and Tampa is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. The trip wraps in Tampa, so you won't retrace your steps. With 10 sea days versus 5 in port, the ocean is a big part of this trip. The Western Mediterranean route takes in France, Spain, Bahamas and United States, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Barcelona: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Gem keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 15 nights well spent.
