Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 9 countries over 7 nights, starting in Civitavecchia (Rome) and finishing in Piraeus (Athens), with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 15 port days and 10 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise
The 7 Night Western Mediterranean is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Oosterdam. You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) and disembark in Piraeus (Athens), calling at 15 ports across 9 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Civitavecchia, Livorno, Portofino), France (Marseille), Gibraltar (Gibraltar), Spain (Barcelona, Ibiza, Alicante and 1 more), Morocco (Tangier), Portugal (Lisbon) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Civitavecchia (Rome) and home from Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 10 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.
