About This Cruise
The 10 Night New! Icons Of The Mediterranean is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Sea. You board in Marseille and disembark in Piraeus (Athens), calling at 8 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in France (Marseille, Villefranche), Italy (Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples), Sicily (Messina) and Greece (Iraklion, Piraeus).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Marseille and home from Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
