An Epic Adventure Awaits!

This week we finally booked our 2020 holiday!

We are going on a 7 night Western Med Cruise in August 2020 on the Norwegian Epic from Barcelona with my partners family! It’s to celebrate my father in laws 60th birthday and there are 13 of us going, we have all booked Mini Suites on Deck 12 next to each other and have opted for the Free At Sea offer and have picked the Premium Beverage Package and the $50 per cabin per port shore excursion credit.

I have done a very similar itinerary before, back in August 2016 on the brand new Carnival Vista. The only change this time is we are going to Cannes in the South of France whereas on the Carnival Cruise we went to Marseille (one of my favourite cruise ports of call). I have been on Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Escape for a 1 night mini cruise so am very excited to enjoy the facilities on-board. I will make sure to take lots of photos!

This is the itinerary:

Day 1: Embark in Barcelona

The mistake we made on our Carnival Vista cruise was we didn’t spend anytime in Barcelona before the cruise, this time we are going to spend 2 nights in a hotel first to explore the city!

 

 

 

 

 

Day 2: At Sea

Day 3: Naples, Italy (for Pompeii)

I have been to Naples twice before and have visited Pompeii however my partner hasn’t so I imagine we will do a trip here.

 

 

 

 

Day 4: Civitavecchia (for Rome), Italy 

We have done a city break to Rome before but am looking forward to seeing Rome again.

Day 5: Livorno (for Florence & Pisa), Italy

I really like Florence so excited to go back and see some more.

Day 6: Cannes, France

Always wanted to go to Cannes, now I have my chance!

 

 

 

 

 

Day 7: Palma de Mallorca, Spain

I think we will have a nice beach day here!

Day 8: Disembark in Barcelona
