About This Cruise
The 7 Night A Journey through Mediterranean Beauty, Artistic Spirit & Eternal Charms is a 7-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in Barcelona, calling at 12 ports across 6 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona, Ibiza), Tunisia (Tunis), Malta (La Valletta), Sicily (Giardini-Naxos), Italy (Sorrento, Civitavecchia, Porto Santo Stefano), France (Cannes) 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 2 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
