This unforgettable package combines culture, coastlines, and a cruise you’ll be talking about for years.
Begin with 3 nights in sunny Valencia, where you’ll explore the city with a 48-hour Hop On Hop Off sightseeing tour. Then hop on a scenic train to Barcelona for another 3-night stay, with a Go City Explorer Pass included so you can make the most of Gaudí, Gothic quarters and glorious tapas.
From there, you’ll set sail on a 7-night Mediterranean cruise onboard Norwegian Epic, calling at France and Italy’s most iconic ports before finishing in Rome. It’s the perfect balance of city discovery and cruise relaxation – and every moment is taken care of.
When it comes to cruising the Mediterranean in style, Norwegian Epic lives up to its name. This award-winning ship is all about big entertainment, bold dining options, and brilliant flexibility – so you can do your holiday your way.
Onboard you’ll find more than 20 different dining venues, from casual bites to specialty restaurants, plus a great mix of bars and lounges (including an ice bar if you fancy something a little different!). By day, soak up the sun by the pool, treat yourself to a spa day, or join in the fun with activities like water slides and dance classes. By night, get ready for top-class entertainment – Norwegian Epic is known for its West End-style shows, live music, and vibrant nightlife.
Staterooms are modern, comfortable and cleverly designed, whether you go for a cosy inside cabin or splash out on a suite in The Haven – NCL’s exclusive ship-within-a-ship concept.
Best of all, Norwegian Epic sails with the line’s signature Freestyle Cruising philosophy – meaning no set dining times, no formal nights, and no pressure. Just freedom, flexibility, and fun from start to finish.
This exclusive itinerary is available on select departure dates from April to September 2026 — offering you the flexibility to travel at a time that suits you.

Your journey begins with a flight from Dublin to the vibrant coastal city of Valencia. On arrival, you’ll check in for a 3-night stay in a centrally located hotel. Settle in and start exploring the city’s laid-back vibe, lively plazas, and beachside charm.
Use your included 48-hour Hop On Hop Off Tour to get your bearings and explore Valencia at your own pace. Marvel at the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, wander the cobbled lanes of the old town, and stop off for a paella in the city where it all began.
With your tour pass still active, today is yours to dive deeper. Head to the marina for sea views and fresh seafood, visit the Central Market for local treats, or simply relax in the Turia Gardens. Valencia’s mix of culture and calm is hard to beat.
Check out and board your scenic train journey north to Barcelona. Once you arrive, you’ll check in for another 3-night stay. The evening is yours to settle in, explore the neighbourhood, and maybe enjoy your first taste of Catalan cuisine.
Your Go City Explorer Pass is your ticket to Barcelona’s best sights. Choose from top attractions like the Sagrada Familia, a hop-on hop-off bus tour, the Barcelona Aquarium, or even a Flamenco show – all included, and totally flexible.
Take advantage of your final full day in Barcelona to tick off anything left on your list – from beach strolls and shopping in El Born to sunset drinks with a view. This is city exploring, your way.
Check out of your hotel and transfer to the port to board Norwegian Epic for your 7-night Mediterranean cruise. Get settled into your stateroom, explore the ship, and toast to the start of your cruise adventure.
Your first port of call is France’s sun-drenched south. Explore the historic port city of Marseille, or venture into Provence to see lavender fields, hilltop villages and Roman ruins.
Arrive in the postcard-perfect port of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Spend the day exploring the French Riviera – whether it’s shopping in Nice, café-hopping in Èze, or casino-spotting in Monaco.
Dock in Livorno, the gateway to Tuscany. Join a tour to Florence to see Renaissance masterpieces, or head to Pisa to snap that iconic Leaning Tower photo.
Take a breather and enjoy a full day at sea. With dozens of dining options, pools, bars, and entertainment onboard Norwegian Epic, there’s plenty to keep you as active or as relaxed as you like.
Arrive in the Sicilian port of Messina. Explore the historic city centre, head out to Taormina for sweeping sea views, or visit the slopes of Mount Etna.
Today you’ll dock in Salerno – a gateway to the dramatic Amalfi Coast. Whether you explore the charming town of Amalfi, take a boat to Positano, or enjoy a limoncello in Sorrento, the views will stay with you forever.
Your cruise ends in Civitavecchia, the port for Rome. Disembark and transfer to the airport for your flight back to Dublin.
Whether you’re after great value or a touch of indulgence, there’s a stateroom to suit every style and budget onboard Norwegian Epic. From cosy Interior cabins to The Haven’s exclusive luxury suites, you’ll find your perfect home at sea. Below you’ll see pricing for each option, so you can choose the one that fits you best.
