Norwegian Epic: 7-Night Cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome) - October 25, 2026

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Salerno, Italy, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Wear light, breathable clothing in summer and layered clothing in cooler months.

The Norwegian Epic carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Catania, Sicily, Italy. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Start around Piazza del Duomo and wander through streets lined with lava stone palaces, churches, and lively shops.

Your ship arrives in Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Italy at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. This historic canal district offers colorful buildings, bridges, and quaint streets perfect for wandering.

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Villefranche, France, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Visitors can explore the old town with its narrow cobbled streets, admire 16th-century architecture, and visit landmarks such as Saint Pierre Chapel.

The Norwegian Epic carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Marseille, France. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. The Old Port is the heart of Marseille, where fishing boats and yachts mingle.

Your cruise ends in Barcelona, Spain, where the Norwegian Epic is scheduled to dock at 6:00 AM. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Wandering through the older districts reveals narrow streets, hidden squares, and centuries of stories.
