Ocean Discovery – Cannes, Civitavecchia (Rome) & Salerno

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on September 4, 2028 and spend 6 nights visiting Cannes, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno and Palma de Mallorca. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Spain. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 13 restaurants on Valiant Lady, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 6 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 6-night sailing is a strong place to start.
