Sun-Drenched Hegemony – Riviera to Ravenna

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 9 nights from Barcelona on June 24, 2026, visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in Ravenna. 9 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. 5 countries (France, Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Salerno, The gateway to the Amalfi Coast's vertical beauty. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Viva (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
