Ocean Discovery – Civitavecchia (Rome), Livorno (Florence/Pisa) & Naples

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from September 7, 2027 and let this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) do its thing. The route covers Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Naples and Palermo, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You get off in Piraeus (Athens), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to Türkiye. Don't rush through Palermo, which is known as Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Scarlet Lady has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 9 ports across 12 nights covers a lot.
