Sun-Drenched Stones – Ibiza, Marseille & Rome

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 Barcelona on May 7, 2028 visits Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, Genoa, La Spezia and Civitavecchia (Rome). Last stop: Civitavecchia (Rome). A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 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. Of the stops, Marseille tends to be the one people talk about: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
