Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca & Marseille

About this cruise

Block out 21 nights from October 27, 2027 and let this sailing from Barcelona do its thing. The route covers Palma de Mallorca, Marseille and Livorno (Florence/Pisa), with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You finish in Piraeus (Athens). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 13 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 6 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Türkiye. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Civitavecchia (Rome) alone is worth the trip, The Eternal City is just an hour away. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Rotterdam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
