Why We Love This Deal
Sail the Mediterranean on the brand-new Sun Princess, perfect for longer journeys like this 21-night escapade. Stretch out in larger, quieter cabins, relax in airy lounges, and enjoy spacious dining. Moments on board are as memorable as the destinations themselves. Your holiday starts with three nights in Barcelona. Wander sunlit streets, feast on tapas, and admire Gaudí’s masterpieces. We recommend a trip to Montserrat for breathtaking views and fascinating landscapes you won’t forget. Then it's all aboard the Sun Princess as you sail to 16 cities. The classic ports cover the essentials. Stroll Rome’s ancient piazzas. Sip wine along Naples’ coastline. Explore Mykonos’ charming alleys and watch Santorini’s cliffs glow at sunset. This longer journey also reaches less-frequented gems. Explore Marseille’s old port or the dramatic Calanques. Discover Genoa and the colorful villages of Cinque Terre. Relax on Montenegro’s quiet beaches and wander Corfu’s Venetian streets and olive groves. These hidden ports offer quiet charm, breathtaking scenery, and memories few cruises provide. Flights and all transfers are included—so you can focus on memories, not the logistics.
