Sun-Drenched Riviera – Palma, Marseille & Florence

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night sailing from Barcelona on September 10, 2028 visits Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, Ajaccio, Genoa, La Spezia and Civitavecchia (Rome). You finish in Civitavecchia (Rome). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, France and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. La Spezia alone is worth the trip, Gateway to the pastel villages of Cinque Terre. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sun Princess launched in 2024, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
