About This Cruise

In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona), France (Villefranche), Italy (Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples), Sicily (Messina), Crete (Chania), Greece (Santorini, Rhodes) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Barcelona and home from Trieste, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book.
