About This Cruise
The 10 Night A Journey through Mediterranean Wonders & Ancient Echoes is a 10-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in Barcelona, calling at 7 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona), Italy (Civitavecchia, Naples), Malta (La Valletta), Tunisia (Tunis), Italy (Trapani), Minorca (Port Mahon) and 1 more.
Because it's round-trip from Barcelona, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
