Vibrant Mediterranean – Rome, Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on May 17, 2026 and visits Marseille, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Catania, Salerno and Civitavecchia (Rome). Last stop: Civitavecchia (Rome). The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Epic. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
