About This Cruise

In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona, Malaga), Morocco (Tangier), Spain (Almeria), Sardinia (Cagliari), Italy (Civitavecchia, Livorno), Corsica (Ajaccio) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Barcelona and home from Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book.
