Ocean Discovery – Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno & Catania

About this cruise

You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 23, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Salerno, Catania, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Marseille, Ibiza and Barcelona, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. The sailing ends in Barcelona. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, France and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Catania: Baroque beauty in the shadow of Mount Etna. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Epic takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 6 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
