About this cruise
The busiest itinerary in Europe, and deservedly so. Civitavecchia puts Rome within ninety minutes, Naples opens up Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, and the ship covers the distances overnight.
- Rome and Pompeii both reachable as day trips
- Only one sea day across the week
- Barcelona is worth a night either side of the sailing
