Princess Cruises has announced updated Western Mediterranean itineraries for the Sun Princess, introducing new ports of call for its seven-day sailings in 2026 and 2027.

A total of 16 enhanced cruises will run between April 4 and October 17, 2026. According to the company, guests will now enjoy visits to Mallorca (Palma), Spain, and Corsica (Ajaccio), France, along with an overnight stay in La Spezia, Italy, providing more time to explore Florence, Pisa, and Tuscany. Gibraltar, however, will be dropped from these itineraries.

Highlighted ports of call include:

  • Corsica (Ajaccio): The birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte.
  • Genoa (for Cinque Terre): A historic maritime hub.
  • Marseille (for Provence): France’s oldest city and gateway to Provence.

Expanded Experiences by Port

Travelers can ride a vintage train through the countryside, visit Valldemossa, or discover centuries-old olive oil traditions. Excursions include Mallorca Uncorked, Best of Palma de Mallorca, and Vintage Train, Ancient Oil Mill & Tasting.

Ibiza, Spain

Guests can explore UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila, stroll Las Salinas, or learn about local heritage in Jesús Village, Santa Eulalia, and Puig de Missa. Culinary highlights include dining at Can Curreu, with tours such as Dalt Vila Walking Tour, Highlights of North Ibiza, and A Taste of Ibiza.

From this Italian Riviera gem, options include hiking to Portofino, visiting Cinque Terre, or discovering Camogli and San Fruttuoso, home to a 10th-century abbey. Food enthusiasts can enjoy olive oil tastings, a Rapallo foodie tour, and hands-on pesto-making classes.

With the overnight stays in La Spezia and the new variety of excursions, Princess Cruises says these itineraries offer a deeper, more immersive experience of the Mediterranean.
