Princess Cruises is introducing enhanced voyages onboard one of the cruise line’s newest ships—Sun Princess—on its previously announced seven-day Western Mediterranean itineraries with new ports of call in 2026 and 2027 on 16 enhanced cruises departing from April 4, 2026, through October 17, 2027.

Guests will now enjoy calls to Mallorca (Palma), Spain, and Corsica (Ajaccio), France, as well as an overnight stay in La Spezia, Italy (for Florence/Pisa), providing a special two-day experience in the region. To allow for these enhanced experiences, Gibraltar will no longer be included on these voyages.

With thoughtfully curated shore excursions and even select overnight stays, guests can experience the Mediterranean with more depth.

On sale now, Sun Princess cruises from Barcelona to Civitavecchia (Rome) feature a mix of cultural capitals and hidden gems with shore excursions in each new port:

• Corsica (Ajaccio) – Birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte, Ajaccio is rich in history and natural beauty. Guests can step inside Bonaparte Maison, his childhood home, or discover A Cupulatta Tortoise Sanctuary, where more than 180 species of tortoises and turtles roam in a peaceful setting.
• Genoa (for Cinque Terre) – From this historic port city, travelers can journey to Cinque Terre, where five villages cling dramatically to the cliffs above the sea. A guided exploration reveals colorful harbors, narrow lanes, and sweeping views, paired with the chance to sample the region’s famous pesto. Others may choose to linger in Genoa itself, once a maritime powerhouse with a rich architectural and culinary heritage.
• Marseille (for Provence) – France’s oldest city serves as a gateway to Provence. Excursions showcase Aix-en-Provence with its elegant boulevards and lively squares or lead up to the hilltop Basilica Notre-Dame de la Garde for panoramic views of Marseille’s terracotta rooftops and azure coastline.

Depending on departure date, select itineraries include additional ports of call to:

• Mallorca (Palma), Spain – In Palma, guests can step aboard a century-old vintage train that winds through the Tramuntana Mountains to Sóller, stroll through charming villages such as Valldemossa, or explore the olive oil traditions of a 16th-century mill. A full-day tour combines Palma’s Gothic landmarks, countryside treasures, and a traditional tapas lunch, while wine enthusiasts can savor the varietals of Santa Maria del Camí during an exclusive tasting. Excursions include "Mallorca Uncorked", "Best of Palma de Mallorca", and "Vintage Train, Ancient Oil Mill & Tasting."
• Ibiza, Spain – Known for its beaches and nightlife, Ibiza also reveals a quieter side steeped in history and tradition. Visitors can stroll the sands of Las Salinas, climb to the UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila to see its cathedral and castle encircled by 16th-century walls, or venture north to discover the heritage of Jesús Village, Santa Eulalia, and Puig de Missa. A culinary highlight awaits at Can Curreu, a tranquil country estate where authentic island specialties are served amid a lush agro-tourism retreat. Guests can explore these sights by booking the "Dalt Vila Walking Tour", "Highlights of North Ibiza", and "A Taste of Ibiza through Princess".
• Santa Margherita/Portofino, Italy – The Ligurian Coast offers palm-lined promenades and pastel-colored villages. From Santa Margherita, guests can hike along the rugged coastline to Portofino, explore the UNESCO-cited Cinque Terre, or visit the fishing village of Camogli and the secluded bay of San Fruttuoso, home to a 10th-century abbey. Food lovers will find hands-on experiences as well, from olive oil tastings to a Rapallo foodie walking tour and an interactive pesto-making class.

Select voyages feature an overnight in La Spezia, Italy, offering ample time to discover Florence, Pisa, and the rolling hills of Tuscany at a more leisurely pace.
