It takes more than a week for a cruise to go from Venice to Barcelona – but what a week it is. Starting and ending in two great cities while visiting historic spots on the Adriatic Sea, coastal Italy, southern France and Spain.

10-12 Night Cruises from Venice to Barcelona

Norwegian, Viking and Seabourn all offer voyages that begin in Venice and end in Barcelona. At 10-12 days in length, that’s enough to make a few stops along the Adriatic coast before heading to the usual spots in Italy and France.
