Ocean Discovery – Ibiza, Marseille & Ajaccio

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 21 nights from Barcelona on September 26, 2027, visiting Ibiza, Marseille and Ajaccio, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. 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. Crossing 6 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Türkiye and Montenegro. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. 21 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Barcelona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 21-night sailing is a strong place to start.
