Topaz Trek – Marseille & Rome

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on May 3, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Marseille, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Messina, Salerno and Civitavecchia (Rome). It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The sailing ends in Civitavecchia (Rome). 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. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Epic, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
