Ocean Discovery – Ravenna, Dubrovnik & Bar

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from Ravenna on May 17, 2027, visiting Dubrovnik, Bar and Salerno, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Civitavecchia (Rome), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. 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. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, France and Spain. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 15 restaurants on Norwegian Prima, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 10 nights. 10 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. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 10 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
