Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Marseille & Livorno (Florence/Pisa)

About this cruise

There's a reason 9-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on September 13, 2028 and visits Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Ravenna. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 5 countries, from France to Croatia. 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, Norwegian Viva (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 9-night sailing is a strong place to start.
