Ocean Discovery – Cannes, Civitavecchia (Rome) & Salerno

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on June 25, 2028 for 7 nights visiting Cannes, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Catania and Palma de Mallorca, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Spain. Don't rush through Cannes, which is known as Red-carpet glamour on the Côte d'Azur. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 13 restaurants on Valiant Lady, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
