Timeless Mediterranean – Barcelona to Ravenna

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on April 29, 2026 and spend 9 nights visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. Last stop: Ravenna. Every single day is a port day. 9 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Viva launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
