From Barcelona to Rome (Civitavecchia) · Mediterranean · 7 nights
Viking’s hugely successful river cruise operation expanded into ocean cruising with a fleet of ten contemporary 930-guest ocean ships featuring attractive inclusive pricing and interesting itineraries. A slightly larger ship joined the fleet in 2024 with two additional ships scheduled in 2025 and 2026 each carrying 998 guests.
The airy contemporary style of the ships, with fresh Nordic
décor, is most appealing. Add to that the huge choices in dining
and other facilities, and veranda staterooms throughout, not to
mention included shore excursions and an excellent spa, and you
have a winner. In 2024 Viking Vela joined the fleet which is very
slightly larger, carrying 998 guests, yet identical in all other
respects to her predecessors. Two further 998-guest ships, Viking
Vesta and Viking Mira, launch in 2025 and 2026 respectively.

[description] => Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Catalonia, is one of our
favourite ports of call. From the warren-like medieval streets of
the Barri Gòtic to the fantastical modernist architecture of Antoni
Gaudí, from the dizzy heights of Mount Tibidabo to the golden sands
of Barceloneta, there's never a dull moment in this most beguiling
of cities. Take a stroll along the Ramblas, soak up the wonderful
art of Picasso and Miró, or experience the electrifying atmosphere
of a match at the Camp Nou. Barcelona is truly a city with
something for everyone.
[callout] => Our tip
For the ultimate boozy lunch head to Can Paixano, also known as La Xampanyeria, where local residents, office workers and the odd adventurous tourist crowd around the bar and tuck into sandwiches washed down with Cava.
