Good to know
- Port times are set by the cruise line and can change.
- Be on board at least 2 hours before departure.
- Passport valid for at least 6 months after your return.
- Italy, France and Spain are in the Schengen area, so most UAE residents need a Schengen visa. Some sailings call at Tunis (La Goulette), which has its own entry rules. The October 2026 sailings are close, so they suit travellers who already hold a valid Schengen visa.
Highlights
- Italy, France and Spain in 7 nights
- Barcelona and Marseille
- Ibiza or Sardinia, or Tunis, depending on the date
- Palermo in Sicily
