Ocean Discovery – Cannes, Civitavecchia (Rome) & Salerno
About this cruise
7 nights, 5 ports, all from Barcelona on October 15, 2028. The route visits Cannes, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Catania and Palma de Mallorca and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Italy and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Valiant Lady takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 12 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Barcelona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
