Ever dreamed of seeing Europe without the stress of airports, constant packing, or hotel hopping?
Allure of the Seas by royalcaribbean made that dream real for us — 5 iconic cities in just 7 days, and we only unpacked once!

Here’s what our itinerary looked like (plus a few tips!):

• Day 1: Barcelona, Spain
We flew in a day early and stayed at Hotel Rialto — super affordable and walking distance to the Gothic Quarter and cruise port.
We explored La Sagrada Familia (yes, full Cheetah Girls moment!) 

• Day 2: Boarding Allure of the Seas
Our floating home for the next 7 nights — packed with shows, dining, zip lines, a carousel, and even an ice rink!

• Day 3: Palma de Mallorca
This stop is known for its gorgeous beaches (we didn’t make it, but heard amazing things!).We explored the stunning Bellver Castle and had one of our favorite Paella of the trip.

• Day 4: Sea Day
Relaxation mode: activated. From sunbathing to Broadway-style shows to family activities and all-you-can-eat everything — there’s always something to do onboard.

• Day 5: Florence, Italy
Florence is a leather shopping heaven!
We visited the Uffizi Gallery (home to Botticelli’s Birth of Venus), got fresh gelato, walked across the Ponte Vecchio, and stood in awe at the Duomo.

• Day 6: Civitavecchia (Rome’s port)
Instead of heading into Rome, we stayed local in the charming port town. We shopped at OVS (like an Italian Primark!) and enjoyed a laid-back espresso-filled day.

• Day 7: Naples + Amalfi Coast
One of our favorite days! We booked a private driver who took us to Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi.
Breathtaking views, lemon everything, coastal vibes, and memories we’ll never forget.

• Day 8: Sea Day + Back to Barcelona
One last day to soak up the sun, eat everything one more time, and enjoy the magic of being at sea.

All aboard Allure of the Seas. No repacking. No internal flights. Just epic adventures, sunsets, and a new city every day.
Cruising truly is one of the best (and easiest) ways to explore Europe who want a mix of relaxation and adventure
