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

About this cruise

This one leaves Barcelona on May 7, 2028 and spends 7 nights visiting Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Villefranche-sur-Mer and Palma de Mallorca at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. 3 countries (France, Italy and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Valiant Lady. 12 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
