Royal Caribbean Mediterranean 7N from Rome/Barcelona tour package — 9N/10D itinerary, price and inclusions
Royal Caribbean's seven-night Mediterranean sailing is a top premium-cruise pick, threading the Greek islands and Turkish coast from a pre-cruise base in Rome or Barcelona. After two nights ashore exploring the embarkation city, the ship calls at marquee ports — typically Naples (for Pompeii or the Amalfi coast), Santorini's caldera, party-and-beaches Mykonos, Athens for the Acropolis, ancient Olympia and Ephesus in Turkey. Onboard, the big ships bring the FlowRider surf simulator, Broadway-style shows, pools and varied dining, with a balcony cabin included. Honest note: exact ports and order vary by sailing and can change with conditions; shore excursions, specialty dining and gratuities are typically extra, and Santorini in particular relies on tender boats. A polished, port-rich introduction to Mediterranean cruising. starting at INR 2,80,000 per person. Covers Rome/Barcelona 2N pre + 7N cruise (Naples, Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, Olympia, Ephesus).

Royal Caribbean Mediterranean 7N from Rome/Barcelona day-by-day itinerary (9N/10D)
Day 1: Arrival in Rome or Barcelona
Fly into Rome or Barcelona, clear immigration and transfer to your 4-star hotel. Settle in after the flight and take an easy first evening getting your bearings in the city. Rest up before a day of sightseeing and then embarkation.
Day 2: Explore the embarkation city
A full day to explore — in Rome, the Colosseum, Vatican and Trevi Fountain; in Barcelona, the Sagrada Familia, Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas. Cover the highlights at a comfortable pace and enjoy a final city dinner before boarding the ship tomorrow.
Day 3: Embark the ship
Transfer to the port and board your Royal Caribbean ship. Settle into your balcony cabin and explore the decks — find the FlowRider, pools and theatres, and check show times. Enjoy dinner and the first evening's entertainment as the ship sets sail into the Mediterranean.
Day 4: Naples
The ship calls at Naples. Step ashore for an optional excursion to the ruins of Pompeii, the dramatic Amalfi coast, or the island of Capri (excursions usually extra), or explore Naples' historic centre and pizza on your own. Re-board for the evening and onboard entertainment.
Day 5: Santorini
Tender ashore at Santorini, the iconic caldera island of whitewashed villages and blue domes. Ride the cable car up to Fira, visit clifftop Oia for its famous views, or join a winery or beach excursion. Tendering depends on conditions; return aboard before the ship sails on.
Day 6: Mykonos
The ship calls at Mykonos, known for its windmills, whitewashed Chora lanes and beaches. Wander Little Venice, relax on a beach, or join an excursion to nearby Delos' ancient ruins. Enjoy the relaxed island vibe before re-boarding for another evening of shows at sea.
Day 7: Athens and Olympia
Depending on the sailing, call at Athens (Piraeus) for the Acropolis and Parthenon, and ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Take guided excursions to the sites or explore independently. A history-rich day before returning aboard for the evening.
Day 8: Ephesus and final sea day
Call at Kusadasi for the remarkably preserved ruins of Ephesus in Turkey, with its Library of Celsus and grand theatre, then enjoy a final stretch of sailing. Make the most of the ship's facilities and entertainment on this last full day before disembarkation.
Day 9: Disembark
Disembark at the final port and transfer to the airport for your return flight, or any onward arrangements. Allow time at the terminal for disembarkation, wrapping up the Mediterranean cruise.
Day 10: Departure
Arrive home, completing the journey. (For sailings with an overnight transit, use this day for the final transfer and flight connections back to your home city.)
