Sunken Amphora – Florence, Rome & Athens

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 9 nights from Barcelona on August 31, 2026, visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Piraeus (Athens), 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from France to Greece. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Sky has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 9 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
