Mediterranean Cruises from Barcelona

The gateway to an unforgettable vacation in Europe.

Our Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona encompass the whole spectrum of what makes Europe so special. You’ll visit impossibly beautiful seaside villages in Italy, cosmopolitan cities in Spain, and glamorous towns along the French Riviera.

Gaze in wonder at Renaissance masterpieces in Florence and Pisa, and learn about the fascinating history of Pompeii. Marvel at Athens’ fascinating historical landmarks, and breathe in the fragrance of the lavender fields in Provence. Whether you choose a seven-night cruise or a longer 12-night voyage, Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona will show you the very best of this historic region.

Itineraries

Featured ports of call.

Spilling over seven hills, Athens spans some 5,000 years of history. At its heart is the iconic Parthenon, gleaming atop Acropolis Hill. Combine your visit here with time at the exceptional Acropolis Museum, packed with priceless archaeological finds. Shop for handmade jewelry in the historic Plaka neighborhood and sample a Greek mezze in a vine-shaded taverna. Head up Mount Lycabettus to see the whole city stretched out below you, the Aegean Sea sparkling in the distance.

Fall in love with the Eternal City and its alluring history and culture. Marvel at the imposing Colosseum, the largest ancient amphitheater ever built, dating back to 80 AD. Visit masterful works of art, like Michelangel’s breathtaking frescoed ceiling in the Sistine Chapel inside the Vatican. Enjoy an afternoon of people-watching with a gelato in a sunlit piazza. And don’t forget to toss a coin into the baroque Trevi Fountain, which, legend has it, guarantees a return to Rome.

Florence/Pisa (La Spezia), Italy

Puerto Rico loves to party, and Christmas is no exception. You’ll find Christmas trees draped in colorful lights, nativity scenes, and buzzing food stalls. There’s music everywhere; a local tradition is singing parrandas, or carols, with guitars and maracas. Explore the colorful streets of Old San Juan and then snorkel among tropical fish and sea turtles in Escambrón Marine Park. Celebrate the season with a chilled coquito, a festive shot of condensed milk, coconut, and rum.

You can even climb to the tippy-top of the spires for panoramic city views.

SEAS THE DAY

Barceloneta Beach at Sunset

With seven beaches spanning more than two miles of Mediterranean coastline, Barcelona’s harbour-front is known for some of the world’s best sun-seeking and on-the-sea adventures. Lounge along the shore, kayak deep blue waters – or charter a fishing trip for the chance to reel in tuna, swordfish or Mediterranean spearfish.

Take a stroll along La Rambla’s pedestrian boulevard to experience the city’s pure essence. Souvenir shops, street artists, flower stalls, pavement cafes and Catalan folk sardana dancers set a lively scene. Its marvellous centrepiece, La Catedral, dates from the 1200s – and its tower delivers sweeping views of medieval Barcelona.

LOCAL CUISINE

Barcelona has mastered the art of eating. Many restaurants serve up creative 'nueva cocina española', while waterfront spots dish out seafood paella and multi-course lunch menus include a glass of sparkling cava wine. For a taste of Catalan cooking, try pa amb tomàquet (tomato-topped bread). Or nibble on Spanish tapas (bite-sized appetisers) around the bar like a local, with house-made vermouth in hand.

You could spend hours checking out the markets of Barcelona for high-quality leatherwear, jewellery, old books and unique housewares. Passeig de Gràcia and Barcelona Shopping Line are two popular retail promenades – and the Gothic Quarter is home to dozens of family-owned shops that sell textiles, stationery, decorative ceramic tiles and earthenware kitchenware.

Barcelona Cruise Guide

Cruising the Mediterranean and Beyond

Repositioning Cruises From Barcelona In November

By the time November comes around the prime Mediterranean cruise season is coming to an end. That means it’s time for the cruise lines to move their ships to new home ports for the winter. These are known as “repositioning cruises” and provide some relatively unique opportunities to take a one-way cruise out of Barcelona.

Costa Is Busiest In November

Costa Cruise Lines provides the most repositioning cruises from Barcelona in November, with three ships heading to new homes. Instead of looking for a warmer spot in the northern hemisphere, they’re staying in the summer season by sending their ships south.

Costa Favalosa will be making a transatlantic trip to South America. There are two options for length and final destination: 14-nights to Rio de Janeiro or 15 days to Santos (the port city nearest to Sao Paulo). On the way there will be visits to Lanzarote (Arrecife), St. Cruz de Tenerife, Recife, Maceio, and Salvador. The cruise leaves Barcelona on November 20th.

Two days later, Costa Fortuna will be making a similar trip across the Atlantic. This time there will be a 15-night option that ends in Rio de Janeiro and a 18-day trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina. The itinerary for the cruise varies slightly from that of Favalosa, with stops in Casablanca, Las Palmas (Canary Islands), Recife, Salvador and Ilheus.

And finally, Costa Toscana begins its 18 day transatlantic voyage on November 29th, ending in Santos, Brazil. On Day 2 it’ll make a stop in Cadiz, followed by visits to Lanzarote, Tenerife, Salvador and Ilheus.

In addition to Costa, Viking also offers one repositioning cruise to South America as Viking Jupiter begins a 22-day voyage on November 10th. Ports of call include Granada, Casablanca, Dakar, Rio and Montevideo. The cruise ends in Buenos Aires.

Repositioning Cruises From Barcelona To Florida

Two ships will be moving from Barcelona to Florida in November, with Holland America’s Oosterdam going to Fort Lauderdale and Oceania Sirena headed to Miami.

Ooosterdam’s leaves Barcelona on November 5th on its 14-day “Spanish Farewell” transatlantic cruise. It’ll make three stops in Spain: Cartagena, Malaga, and Cadiz; then to Lisbon and Funchal before arriving in Fort Lauderdale.

Oceania Sirena gets a one day headstart on Oosterdam, departing Barcelona on November 4th. It’s another 14-night cruise with visits to Malaga, Funchal and Bermuda on the way to Miami. Sirena will spend the winter mixing up Caribbean cruises that depart from Miami and Bridgetown, Barbados.

Seabourn and Royal Caribbean to Barbados

Seabourn Ovation takes its time getting to its destination with a 28-night cruise to Barbados. Departing Barcelona on November 12th it makes a couple of stops in Morocco (Tangier and Casablanca), a couple more in the Canary Islands, heads a bit north to say “Hi!” to Lisbon, cross the Atlantic and makes a few Caribbean island stops (St. Johns, St. Kitts, Guadeloupe and Martinique) before finally arriving in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas leaves Barcelona on November 12th with a more single-minded, destination-oriented approach: just 12 nights to get to Barbados. Still, cruisers will get a chance to see Cannes, Malaga and Madeira along the way. Rhapsody of the Seas then begins a winter of southern Caribbean cruises from 5 to 14 days in length.

Continue to some of the world’s oldest vineyards and taste the bouquet of wines produced on the island, making sure to visit the black-sand beach of Kamari before heading back to your Mediterranean cruise ship.

Rooted in Greek mythology, Athens is alive with stories from civilizations of the past. On a cruise to Europe departing from Athens, arrive early to tour the remains of ancient lores — like the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Acropolis — dine at the city’s lively tavernas and admire iconic sculptures bathed in natural light within the Acropolis Museum.

Until it was popularized by the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona was a hidden gem amid Europe’s diverse landscapes. Now it’s widely recognized for its architectural masterpieces and spirited customs. On European cruises from Barcelona, leave enough time before you depart to visit Park Güell – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and feel inspired by the colors and unique artistry that lie in the park and throughout the entire city.

Experience the captivating charm of Naples, Italy, with a range of enriching excursions. Explore the ancient ruins of Pompeii, where well-preserved mosaics and frescoes offer a glimpse into Roman life. For a taste of luxury, visit the stunning Isle of Capri. Enjoy a scenic jetfoil ride, explore Anacapri, and savor a southern Italian lunch with fresh, local ingredients. Wine enthusiasts can hike to Mount Vesuvius' summit for breathtaking views, followed by a vineyard tour and wine tasting paired with local delicacies. Discover the wonders of Naples on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

On a Mediterranean cruise to Livorno, travel to Florence or Pisa where artifacts abound. Capture snapshots of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stop by Michelangelo’s David statue at the Accademia and walk up to the “Gates of Paradise” at the Baptistery. Or explore the countryside and meander through the region’s rolling hills that bear vineyards and green olive groves.

Nestled within Boka Bay lies a medieval gem. Kotor is enrobed in ancient houses, palaces and churches that speak to its 12th-century origins. On a Greek cruise, dine on Montenegrin cuisine in the home of a local chef, appreciate 14th-century Venetian art at St. Tryphon’s Cathedral and taste regional wines along the riviera. Or see another side of the city when you kayak through the tunnels of Lipa Cave.

Discover the vibrant culture of Istanbul, Turkey, with a variety of excursions. Explore the iconic Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, marvel at the treasures in Topkapi Palace, or wander through the bustling Grand Bazaar. Take a scenic Bosphorus Cruise, visit the ancient Underground Cistern, or experience a traditional Turkish breakfast. Each excursion offers a unique glimpse into Istanbul's rich history and dynamic present. Immerse yourself in the magic of this transcontinental city on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Famous for its beaches and spirited lifestyle, Mykonos is the heartbeat of Greece. Embark on a jeep safari past the city’s windmills, lighthouses and lakes. Walk past temples and marble-lined sanctuaries in Delos, the birthplace of famous Greek gods. Or soak up a day of relaxation on the beach with the city’s Cycladic architecture as your backdrop — all on a Greek cruise with Princess.

Italy’s capital city is something of a dream. Grand chapels and stone angels line the roads, whispering secrets of Rome’s past. On a European cruise from Rome, arrive early to toss a coin into Trevi Fountain. Legend has it, you’ll be guaranteed a return to The Eternal City. Then walk in the footsteps of Emperors at the Colosseum, and receive a blessing from the Pope at St. Peter’s Square.

Why Cruise the Mediterranean

In lands where the culture is as flavorful as the cuisine, the splendor of the Mediterranean speaks for itself.

World-Class Dining

Captivating cuisine

With mouthwatering entrees and confections, the Mediterranean invites you to embark on a gourmet tour through iconic cities. Reawaken your taste buds with Italian classics like pastas, pizzas and gelato. Or fill your plate with gyros, keftethes and baklava on a Greek cruise. From breakfast to dinner and every delectable dessert in between, the best is before you with Princess.

Bold reds and crisp whites

The countryside of Italy and Greece are home to some of the most flavorful wines around the globe. With sun and warm temperatures year-round, vineyards are flourishing with grapes by the harvest season. Sip on Italy’s red wines, or sample Greece’s white blends. From sweet Lambruscos to earthy Bordeauxs, fill up your glass on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Ancient Ruins

Where history comes to life

From towers and temples to cities and shorelines, the Mediterranean is sprinkled with remains of civilizations past. Step back in time on a tour through ancient ruins on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess. Imagine life as a gladiator at the Colosseum, explore Greek mythology at the Parthenon and discover the archeological excavations of Pompeii — a lost city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Art Galleries & Museums

Artistic ingenuity abounds

From the treasures on land to the jewels within museums, the Mediterranean is a true work of art. On an Italian cruise, see portraits from the Renaissance period at the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces at the Vatican Museum in Rome. Or walk in the footsteps of celebrated artists that called these regions home — like Picasso and Dali — and allow their work to spark your creativity.

Sun-Kissed Beaches

A vision of natural beauty

Visions of sparkling coasts and crystalline waters welcome you to the Mediterranean. Dip your toes on the black-sand coast of Santorini on a Greek cruise. Head to Salerno to spend the day in Positano relaxing on the white beaches and admiring the pastel houses that decorate the cliffs around you. Or travel to Mykonos with your loved ones and daydream on the city’s long stretch of golden sand and stroll in the sunshine.

Mediterranean excursions

Our award-winning Mediterranean cruise shore excursions bring you to iconic beaches, landmarks and ancient artifacts. See the yacht-lined shores of Kotor while riding on a tuk tuk, an electric rickshaw. Savor the flavors of “Koum Kouat” liqueur, created from Corfu’s exclusive citrus plant. Or stroll along the streets of Dubrovnik’s Old town, one of the most well-preserved medieval cities in the world.

Local connections

From chefs and beverage makers to artists and guides, meet the many personalities that call the Mediterranean home with our Local Connections program. On a Mediterranean cruise, voyage to an olive tree farm just outside of Provence, and join your hosts for a unique olive oil tasting. Or explore the Archaeological Museum of Naples with a local artist, and accompany them for lunch to dive even deeper in Italy’s art scene.

More ashore

Enjoy even more opportunities to experience the colors, cultures and flavors of the Mediterranean with More Ashore late-night departures and overnight stays. Witness the beautiful sunset in Mykonos on a Greek cruise. Sit front-row for a flamenco dance, and savor a paella dinner during an evening in Barcelona. Or stroll the illuminated streets of Genoa with gelato in hand after a traditional Italian dinner.

Unforgettable Mediterranean Cruise Shore Excursions

Our award-winning Mediterranean cruise shore excursions bring you to iconic beaches, landmarks and ancient artifacts.

Flavors that inspire

From the zest of Provencal ratatouille to the sweetness of Greek Halva, the Mediterranean is bursting with flavor. On board most Princess ships, indulge in a pasta dinner at Sabatini’s℠, or savor local seafood at Crown Grill. While ashore, treat yourself to gelato in Italy or churros in Spain. From ship to shore, appease your appetite with one-of-a-kind dining experiences on every Mediterranean cruise itinerary.

Entertainment

Find your joy

Embark on adventures by day, and indulge in entertainment by night. Watch Movies Under the Stars® at our 300-square-foot outdoor theater. Attend original productions from Broadway legend Stephen Schwartz, composer of  Wicked . Or learn traditional moves, like Flamenco or Irish stepdance and listen to popular music from the destinations on your itinerary. On a European cruise with Princess, the choice is yours.

Celebrations and Romance

Love blooms on the Love Boat

It's difficult to imagine something more romantic than sailing through the alluring cities and charming countryside of Europe. While on board your European cruise, we cater to your sentimental side with private dining on your balcony — like breakfast for two or a sunset dinner — honeymoon packages, flowers and chocolates delivered to your room and couples-only massages in the Sanctuary.

Youth & Teen Center

Step outside the classroom

Our European cruises were crafted with every guest in mind — even the younger ones. From 6-month old babies to 17-year old teens, kids can unwind and relax or play and explore. With engaging activities on board and ashore, kids can see history books come to life before their eyes.

Vegas hits the seas

Experience the thrill of cards, dice, roulette and blackjack at the casino onboard our European cruises. Learn from experts — like our staff or perhaps other guests nearby — and put your skills to the test. More casual players can pull up a seat at the slot machines for the same adrenaline at their own speed. For an afternoon full of games, join fellow travelers for Bingo or compete in scheduled group tournaments.

No other stop on the Mediterranean oozes culture like Barcelona. Thanks to the famous Antoni Gaudí’s avant-garde architecture and influence, Barcelona boasts nine UNESCO World Heritage sites for visitors to marvel at. The Catalonian capital attracts bohemians, nomads and separatists seeking independence.
