About This Cruise
The 7 Night A Journey of Iconic Islands & Coastal Wonders is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard Explora I. You board in Barcelona and disembark in Civitavecchia (Rome), calling at 7 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona, Ibiza), Tunisia (Tunis), Malta (La Valletta), Sicily (Giardini-Naxos) and Italy (Amalfi, Civitavecchia).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Barcelona and home from Civitavecchia (Rome), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 1 day 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.
