About This Cruise
The 7 Night A Journey of Mediterranean Wonders from Ancient Secrets to Modern Buzzing Vibes is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard Explora I. You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) and disembark in Barcelona, calling at 14 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Civitavecchia, La Spezia), France (St Tropez), Minorca (Port Mahon), Spain (Valencia, Barcelona), France (Marseille, Villefranche), Italy (Porto Santo Stefano, Naples) and 2 more.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Civitavecchia (Rome) and home from Barcelona, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 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.
