$6299—Iconic Med plus Tunisia & Malta: 16-nt fly-cruise-stay
Every port is an icon, from Barcelona and Rome to Malta, Sicily and the French Riviera
Why We Love This Deal
The Mediterranean’s hidden layers meet its greatest hits on this cleverly curated Ecruising holiday. Two voyages with strikingly different characters become one complete journey. Together, they move beautifully between the unexpected and the iconic. Barcelona sets the scene with Gaudí’s curves, tapas bars and late-evening plazas. Mallorca brings honey-coloured villages and bright Balearic light. Tunisia shifts the mood with souks, mosaics and North African history. Malta follows with honey-stone streets, harbour walls and centuries of maritime history. Sicily deepens the story with volcanoes and layered civilisations while Naples unlocks the ruins of nearby Pompeii. Then Rome changes the rhythm. From there, the journey returns through the Mediterranean many travellers dream about first. Italy takes over in spectacular fashion. Florence brings Renaissance masterpieces, before the French coast delivers celebrated scenery and glamour. The Riviera closes the circle with Marseille and the warmth of Provence. Each familiar highlight feels richer after the discoveries that came before. This 16-night Norwegian Epic package includes return flights and two Barcelona hotel nights. It feels less like two cruises joined together, and more like one complete Mediterranean story.
