Ocean Discovery – Civitavecchia (Rome), Palma De Mallorca & Barcelona

About this cruise

13 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 4, 2027 and the route takes you through Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and Villefranche-sur-Mer, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You wind up in Ravenna, so it's worth planning a night or two there. 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 6 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia. Ravenna stands out. It's Byzantine mosaics glittering in the Adriatic haze. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 15 restaurants on Norwegian Prima, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 13 nights. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Civitavecchia (Rome) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
