1. Barcelona
Embarking from or visiting Barcelona , countless sights and activities will spoil you.

Food lovers should attend a paella cooking class or a sparkling Cava tasting. Wander the markets and enjoy sampling a selection of the best Catalonian cuisine.
Have you been to Barcelona before and looking for something else new to experience? Consider a trip to Montserrat, a pilgrimage site with a remarkable basilica and stunning views. This site is where a statue of the Madonna (the mother of Jesus Christ) got uncovered a millennium ago.
2. Rome (Civitavecchia)
Renowned for its rich history, Rome (Civitavecchia) is a truly iconic city. Explore the Vatican, including the famed Sistine Chapel ceiling, or marvel at architectural wonders like the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Spanish Steps, and Piazza Navona.
For food enthusiasts, a culinary tour through Lungotevere, one of Rome's oldest sections, is a must. Enjoy visiting markets, pizza bakeries, chocolate shops, and a coffee shop where the water traces its source to an ancient aqueduct. Of course, no culinary tour in Italy is complete without some gelato. For your final stop, visit Rome's oldest gelateria.
Cannes is an undeniable French Riviera attraction, especially during the annual Cannes Film Festival. During the festival, you'll find numerous celebrities in town. Take a walking tour to explore the old town, market, and the Picasso Museum. Excursions to nearby iconic destinations like Nice or Monaco are also available.

Santorini's awe-inspiring cliffs are a classic image of Greece, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, history, and culture. In the village of Oia, stroll through the charming streets lined with white-washed buildings and blue-domed churches. Capture the stunning views of the caldera, especially during sunset, for an unforgettable experience. Relax on one of the island's unique beaches, such as Red Beach, characterized by its striking red sand and volcanic rock formations, or Perissa Beach, known for its black volcanic sand.
Sample the island's flavours by visiting one of the many local wineries, where you can taste the distinctive Assyrtiko wine, a variety native to Santorini . For history buffs, visiting the archaeological site of Akrotiri, an ancient Minoan city buried under volcanic ash, is a must. Take a trip to Fira, Santorini's vibrant capital, and discover its lively atmosphere, excellent dining options, and bustling nightlife.
5. Florence/Pisa (Livorno)
Livorno is the gateway to Tuscany, Florence & Pisa . It is the ideal port for exploring the region. In Florence, must-see attractions include Piazza del Duomo, Santa Croce, and Michelangelo's David sculpture. Additional excursions to nearby locations, such as Tuscan wine tastings and Cinque Terre, are also available.
In Naples , discover the stunning Amalfi Coast, wander through the well-preserved site of Pompeii, and savour authentic Italian cuisine. Explore the beautiful island of Capri or the coastal town of Sorrento. For those who have previously visited Pompeii, consider the ruins of Herculaneum, another well-preserved ancient site.

Situated at the Mediterranean Sea's entrance from the Atlantic, Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of Spain. Dominated by the 1,400-foot-high Rock of Gibraltar, the area boasts a complex network of tunnels and caves, such as St. Michael's Cave, a Moorish castle, and a nature preserve for Barbary macaques and partridges.
Explore the Great Siege Tunnels, a fascinating labyrinth built during the Great Siege of Gibraltar during the late 18th century, which played a crucial role in the defense of the territory. Wander through the picturesque streets of Gibraltar's old town, taking in the unique blend of British and Mediterranean architecture, and visit the historic Trafalgar Cemetery, the burial place for sailors from the Battle of Trafalgar.
8. Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik , a magnificent walled city on Croatia's southern Adriatic coast, is often called "the Pearl of the Adriatic." As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Dubrovnik's old town features narrow limestone streets lined with well-preserved, orange-roofed buildings and ornate market squares.

14 Brand New Cruise Ships That Have It All
Posted: May 8, 2024 | Last updated: May 8, 2024
The shipping news
From vertigo-inducing slides and waterparks (including the largest waterpark at sea) and decadent afternoon teas to luxurious, marble-floored suites and hybrid, eco-focused ships – cruising is set to wow in 2024 and beyond. The newest ships offer something for all ages and every type of traveler, whether you’re after a quiet vacation or something seriously adrenaline-fueled.
Click or scroll through the gallery to discover a selection of the best new river and ocean vessels to get excited about, launching between now and the end of 2024, plus some 2025 inclusions too...
January 2024: Icon of the Seas, Royal Caribbean
Never one to do things by halves, Royal Caribbean has created the world's largest cruise ship – at a whopping 1,198 feet, with space for 7,600 passengers on board. Icon of the Seas, the first of the line's Icon-class ships, is scheduled to set sail in January 2024 – and people are excited about it. In fact, when the ship's first sailing went online in October 2022, the cabins sold out in hours. Icon features 20 decks and eight themed neighborhoods, including Thrill Island, home to the largest waterpark at sea and six record-breaking slides; and Chill Island, which boasts the line's first swim-up bar at sea.
With a pool for every day of the week, including the largest at sea and a suspended infinity pool, as well as more than 40 restaurants, bars and nightclubs, you'll never be bored on board. For more fun, head out on the line's largest ice rink or marvel at the ship's waterfall. For entertainment, visit the AquaDome (pictured), which is perched on top of Icon and hosts aqua shows and theater by night.
Cabins span 28 categories and include Family Infinite Balcony suites, with a separate bunk alcove for kids, decked out with TVs, beds and chill-out areas (pictured), or to splash the cash, book the three-story family townhouses. Icon of the Seas will sail year-round, seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean trips from Miami.
February 2024: Sun Princess, Princess Cruises
When Sun Princess launches this year she will be Princess Cruises’ largest (and 16th) ship, with room for 4,300 passengers. Currently under construction in Italy, Sea Princess will pay tribute to Europe’s ship-building heritage, with public spaces inspired by Santorini’s famous terraces and the beautiful Piazza found on Princess’s other ships.
Sun Princess will have a staggering 29 restaurants, lounges and bars. We’re predicting the most popular spot will be the three-story Piazza, with its enormous LED screen and various eating and drinking spots – including the Coffee Currents cafe, a new concept for Princess. There’s also the Dome, a glass dome with an indoor-outdoor pool that transforms into a stage at night and will be the setting for adrenaline-fueled acrobatic performances.
Sun Princess’s 2,157 total staterooms (including 50 suites and 100 connecting rooms) will include a new cabin category. Passengers who bag one of the new Signature Collection cabins will enjoy luxury amenities and access to the Signature restaurant, as well as the Signature Collection sundeck and lounge. Sun Princess’s inaugural season will focus on the western Mediterranean.
March 2024: Ama Magdalena, AmaWaterways
Although AmaMagdalena will have just 30 staterooms, there’ll be no shortage of space – all will have a twin balcony design, and will measure between 237 and 516 square feet. Amenities include the whirlpool (located on the ship’s sundeck) and a large fitness room, while the main restaurant will specialize in Western and Latin American cuisine.
Wondering about the name? It’s a nod to her home turf – Colombia’s Magdalena River. AmaWaterways will become the first major cruise line to offer sailings along this particular river, and they’re expected to be especially popular with wildlife fans, including twitchers keen to see Colombia’s 1,900 bird species (bonus points if you spot a rare Cianeguo hummingbird).
March 2024: AmaLilia, AmaWaterways
AmaLilia's 41 staterooms will accommodate 82 guests, and the swankiest cabins include the 13 suites, which have marble bathrooms featuring bathtubs as well as showers, and twin balconies from which to admire the views of the Nile. Africa's longest river will be her home turf, more specifically the stretches which weave past Egypt's the Great Sphinx and the three Pyramids of Giza.
There will be just two restaurants – a main restaurant and Chef's Table, for fine dining. Both will regularly serve up Egyptian delicacies, although it's not the only way in which guests can gain an insight into this beautiful region. The ship's crew will include an Egyptologist, and passengers who don't fancy joining group tours of the archaeological sites lining the Nile can sign up for various exclusive excursions, including private tours of the tomb of Queen Nefertari.
April 2024: Avalon Alegria, Avalon Waterways
Avalon Waterways' newest ship will have 37 Panorama Suites and 14 staterooms, but don't worry if you don't bag a suite – Avalon Alegria's staterooms will be 30% larger than the ones on other Avalon ships. The vessel has been designed to make the most of the views, with panoramic windows throughout and a sky-deck which includes its very own premium lounges. It's easy to stay connected, too – the ship will use Starlink for lightning-fast wifi. The best bit? It's included in the price.
This particular ship is all about the added extras, whether it's the extra space in the staterooms, the window-facing beds (a rarity on river boats) or the way guests can hire fitness gear from the onboard gym. When it comes to dining, it's all about quality over quantity. Head to the main dining room for delicious buffets or to the Panorama Dining Room for decadent afternoon teas and four-course dinners.
April 2024: Amadeus Nova, Amadeus River Cruises
Amadeus Nova will have 12 suites with balconies and 67 exterior cabins with panoramic windows. The most sought-after spots look set to be the Lido Bar on the sun deck, along with the elegant Cafe Vienna for that all-important caffeine fix. She will sail along the Danube, offering cruises between Vienna and Bucharest and Passau and Budapest.
Amadeus Nova will be a seriously sustainable ship, relying on hybrid diesel-electric power and engines which significantly reduce emissions with the help of various hi-tech filters and catalysts. Heat recovery systems use excess heat from the engine room to heat public areas and highly insulated glass minimizes heat loss in winter.
May 2024: Queen Anne, Cunard Line

When the Queen Anne sets sail in 2024, she’ll be the 249th ship to sail under the Cunard flag, and her launch will mark the first time since 1999 that Cunard has had four ships sailing the seas simultaneously. Her 3,000 passengers will stay in cabins spread over 14 decks, and there will be a huge selection of restaurants (15 in total), ranging from Cunard staples such as the Princess Grill to dining concepts being rolled out by Cunard for the first time.
There will be six categories of accommodation and cabins have been designed by Sybille de Margerie, whose portfolio includes Atlantis, The Royal Residences in Dubai. The ship’s piece de resistance will almost certainly be the three-story lobby, closely followed by the ornate 835-seat Royal Court Theater. Another reason to love this ship, which will initially sail the waters of Northern Europe? It will be helmed by Inger Klein Thorhauge – Cunard’s first female captain.
June 2024: Silver Ray. Silversea
Silver Ray will be a sister ship to (and a mirror image of) Silver Nova. Silver Ray will be similarly spacious, with one of the highest space-to-guest ratios of any ship in Silversea's fleet. She'll have a maximum capacity of 728 passengers, and with 544 crew passengers, you can expect to be waited on hand and foot – thanks in part to the cruise line's legendary butler service. The eight restaurants will include several which have become Silversea staples, including S.A.L.T for regional cuisine.
Public areas will include the pool deck, Dusk Bar and Arts Cafe, and further details about onboard amenities will be released prior to her first sailing in June 2024. She'll spend her first few months sailing around the Mediterranean, offering itineraries which take in Athens, Venice and Rome.
June 2024: Viking Vela, Viking Cruises
Bagging a room with a view won’t be an issue on Viking Vela – every stateroom will have its own veranda. The 499 cabins can accommodate a maximum of 998 guests, and the ship’s restaurants will include Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant, The Chef's Table and the World Cafe. Keep an eye out for the onboard art collection, which includes several paintings by Edvard Munch.
The amenity many passengers will love is the spa, more specifically the snow grotto and thermal area, inspired by Scandinavian bathing rituals. The idea is that passengers alternate between the snow grotto and the sauna (although we totally understand the temptation to stick to the latter!). The ship will specialize in Mediterranean cruises.
June 2024: American Liberty, American Cruise Lines
There will be just 100 guests on American Liberty, a compact vessel which American Cruise Lines says will offer expedition-style river sailing, thanks to its ability to slip into smaller ports. Every cabin will have a balcony, and it will have one particularly cool amenity – an activity platform at the stern of the boat designed for passengers who fancy a watersports session, or (if the weather allows) a dip in whichever river it's floating down.
American Liberty will spend her inaugural season sailing around New England's islands, a region which has inspired the decor – think homely color palettes, furnishings and artworks. Impressively, American Cruise Lines currently has five new ships under construction, some of which will offer sailings along the Mississippi and Columbia Rivers.
July 2024: Porto Mirante, Riviera Travel
Porto Mirante will accommodate 120 guests in 60 cabins. Highlights include the sun deck with its splash pool – perfect for those days when the mercury cranks up – and the spacious lounge, with its floor-to-ceiling windows.
The ship will initially stick to the Douro River, offering seven-night sailings which depart and finish in Porto. The sailings are ideal for cruise fans with a dislike of unexpected added extras – the price of every cruise includes transfers, all onboard meals, a superior drinks package, complimentary onboard tea and coffee, plus wifi.
July 2024: Utopia of the Seas, Royal Caribbean
This will be one of the largest ships to launch in 2024, with room for 5,668 passengers. But it’s not the size which sets Utopia apart – there will be several Royal Caribbean firsts, including a Caribbean tiki bar, an immersive dining experience (details of which are yet to be revealed) and the longest dry slide at sea.
Utopia, which will be an Oasis class ship, will initially offer Caribbean sailings, the departure point for which will be Florida. Guests certainly won’t be going hungry – there will be 11 complimentary dining options, including a poolside food truck; as well as 12 specialty restaurants; plus 13 bars where passengers can enjoy a sundowner.
August 2024: Explora II, Explora Journeys
Explora II’s 461 suites will include 371 Ocean Terrace and Ocean Grand Terrace Suites, 22 Ocean Residences and – for those with cash to splash – one truly spectacular Owner’s Residence. Passengers can soak up the views from some of the largest balconies at sea, and all suites will have floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious walk-in wardrobes with seated vanity areas.
Passengers who can drag themselves away from their suites can take a dip in four pools (three are outdoor and one is indoor with a retractable roof) or retreat to one of 64 poolside cabanas. Did we mention the spa, which will cover 27,000 square feet? In addition to nine treatment rooms there’ll be a beauty salon and thermal area. Explora II will initially offer Mediterranean itineraries before heading for the Arabian Gulf.
November 2024: Estrela, APT Travel-marvel
Bigger is definitely better on board when it comes to Estrela, which will have the largest pool of any ship sailing along Portugal’s Douro River, along with a putting green, supersized fitness center and various areas designed without outdoor exercise in mind. There will be 60 suites and staterooms and the ship will have a maximum capacity of 120 passengers.
Estrela’s sailings will focus on Portugal and APT was keen that its newest ship reflected the destination. They commissioned Portuguese ship builders to construct the vessel and paid homage to the destination in a variety of ways, including via the decor, cuisine and entertainment.
December 2024: Disney Treasure, Disney Cruise Line
Now for something guaranteed to appeal to younger cruisers. Disney Treasure, the sister ship to Disney Wish, has been designed with explorers in mind, and pays tribute to Walt Disney’s love of travel with decor inspired by wanderlust-inducing Disney movies such as Aladdin and Zootopia . Highlights will include a Marvel-themed dining experience and 1923, a restaurant filled with artwork from Disney’s most famous animated films. The ship's inaugural season will be spent in the eastern and western Caribbean.
The vast majority of the ship’s 1,256 staterooms will offer an ocean view, while 70% will have a veranda. Other highlights will include the Grand Hall, where passengers can meet their favorite Disney characters; the Walt Disney Theater, which will be the setting for Broadway-quality shows; and the Hero Zone, a fun-filled area where passengers can take part in game show-style competitions and sign up for action-packed physical challenges.
Spring 2025: Alma, Tui Cruises
Finally a look ahead into 2025, more specifically at the first newbuild ship being launched by TUI River Cruises. When TUI Alma sets sail next year she’ll have 62 cabins spread over four decks. We’re predicting that the top deck, with its sun lounger-surrounded pool, will be the most popular spot, although we’re also excited about the cuisine – the ship’s restaurants will include one specializing in Portuguese delicacies.
The ship’s first sailings will take place in spring 2025, and Alma will initially be based on Portugal’s Douro River, offering seven-night sailings that start and finish in Porto. The sailings are designed to highlight five specific riverside locations, including Entre-os-Rios, Peso de Regua, Vega de Terron and Barca d’Alva.
June 2025: Allura, Oceania Cruises
Oceania, which will have 613 staterooms and will initially offer itineraries focusing on the eastern Mediterranean, says that Allura will have the most spacious standard staterooms at sea – they’ll cover 291 square feet. Space won't be the only thing in abundance – there'll be one chef for every 10 guests, a reminder that Oceania Cruises takes its food very seriously. Details of the restaurants are yet to be revealed, but there will be five in total and every venue will pay tribute to a specific type of cuisine.
Allura will spend her first summer sailing around the Mediterranean (her first sailing will be a seven-day voyage from Athens to Istanbul, departing in early June 2025), before heading to Canada and New England. Her first winter will be spent in the Caribbean, and her launch will bring the total number of ships in Oceania’s fleet to eight.

MSC Magnifica to Reposition to Europe in 2025
- May 11, 2024
Previously scheduled to offer short cruises to the Bahamas, the MSC Magnifica is now set to sail in Europe during the summer season of 2025.
Joining MSC Cruises’ lineup in the Western Mediterranean, the 2010-built cruise ship will offer a new seven-night itinerary to Italy, France, and Spain.
The itinerary, which is set to run between early May and early October 2025, includes visits to Genoa, Marseille, Valencia and Tarragona.
With only one day at sea, the itinerary also includes stops in Civitavecchia and Livorno, from where guests can visit Rome and Pisa, respectively.
Following the summer program, the MSC Magnifica is scheduled to offer varying itineraries in the Western Mediterranean before kicking off MSC Cruises’ 2026 World Cruise.
Taking over the global voyage from the MSC Poesia, the 2,550-guest vessel is set to depart from Genoa on January 6, 2026 .
During the 119-day world voyage,, the 89,600-ton ship is scheduled to travel 36,000 nautical miles and visit 47 destinations in 32 countries and five continents.
Currently sailing from PortMiami, the MSC Magnifica has been offering three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas and Florida since late 2023 .
In addition to Nassau, Freeport, and Key West, the vessel’s itineraries also include visits to MSC Cruises’ private island destination, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
Now, the MSC Seascape is scheduled to offer three- to seven-night cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas departing from PortMiami in 2025.
After entering service next April , the 5,400-guest MSC World America is also set to sail from the South Florida homeport on a year-round basis.
MSC Cruises’ fleet in the United States for the summer of 2025 also includes the MSC Meraviglia sailing from New York City and the MSC Seashore sailing from Port Canaveral.

Thrilling Cruises to the Western Mediterranean
Spend your days marveling at breathtaking art, savoring delectable cuisine, and visiting historic landmarks on one of our award-winning Western Mediterranean cruises. Choose from exciting itineraries that visit some of the most stunning destinations in Italy, France, and Spain.
Experience the magic of this region on a Mediterranean cruise to sun-soaked ports of call. Marvel at the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and admire the eclectic architecture of Gaudí in Barcelona. Inhale the aroma of the lavender fields of Provence, or relax on a golden sand beach in Palma de Mallorca. Some itineraries whisk you even deeper into the region, featuring the glorious island of Malta and the beautiful Croatian coast.
Western Mediterranean Cruise Highlights
Masterpieces of art.
The Western Mediterranean is packed with artistic treasures. In Barcelona, marvel at La Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s dazzling basilica. Head to Florence’s Uffizi Gallery to see pieces by Renaissance masters including Da Vinci and Botticelli, or stop by the Galleria dell’Accademia and admire Michelangelo’s exquisite statue of David. From Nice, visit arty St. Paul-de-Vence for the spectacular Fondation Maeght sculpture garden and to see the grave of Marc Chagall.
Fantastic Food & Drink
Feast your way around the coastlines of the Western Mediterranean, savoring delicious regional specialties as you go. Try paella in Valencia, and share a plate of tapas and a chilled glass of jerez while listening to flamenco music in Seville. Sip a cappuccino in sunny Portofino and cool off in Sorrento with homemade gelato. In Rome, the iconic pasta dish is cacio e pepe, while Marseille is famed for its bouillabaisse, a rich and tasty fish stew.
Captivating History
A cruise to the Western Mediterranean is a chance to explore some of history’s most fascinating landmarks. Step inside Rome’s Colosseum, the world’s largest ancient amphitheater, dating back to 70 AD. Visit the Royal Alcázar Palace in Seville, and marvel at the intricate facade of this stunning 12th-century monument. In Valencia, head to the cathedral to see what’s considered the actual Holy Grail. Pisa, meanwhile, is where you’ll find the dramatic Leaning Tower.
Featured Ports
Rome, italy.
Italy’s charismatic capital has it all: epic monuments, chic shopping, fine dining, and leafy parks. Gaze in wonder at the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, and the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel, its ceiling painted by Michelangelo. Stroll the leafy gardens of Villa Borghese and take in the vastness of St. Peter’s Square. Stop for coffee and gelato in buzzing Piazza Navona—and remember to toss a coin into the baroque Trevi Fountain to ensure your return to the Eternal City.
Cannes, France
Get swept up in the glamor of Cannes, home of the ritzy annual film festival. Feel like a Hollywood star as you stroll along the palm-lined La Croisette promenade, where you can shop at upscale boutiques or people-watch in an outdoor café. Head to one of the surrounding beaches and swim in the warm Mediterranean Sea. Take a scenic drive to other seaside towns in the French Riviera, including Antibes, Nice, and Monte Carlo.
Valencia, Spain
With its futuristic buildings, long, golden beaches, and Gothic cathedral, Valencia exudes both beauty and confidence. Visit the dazzling City of Arts and Science, an entertainment complex designed by superstar architect Santiago Calatrava. Shop for saffron and spicy sausages at the Mercado Central. Stroll the lush Turia Gardens, a delightful urban park occupying a former riverbed that winds through the city. And don’t leave without sampling paella, which originated here.
Western Mediterranean Cruise Itineraries
Embark on an exciting Western Mediterranean cruise from April until November on an unforgettable itinerary ranging from seven to 14 nights.
