Serene Mediterranean – Rome, Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 10, 2026 visits Salerno, Catania, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille and Barcelona. You finish 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to Spain. Marseille alone is worth the trip, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Epic has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
