Begin with Gaudí, tapas and the beach in Barcelona, then board a western-Mediterranean sailing calling at Naples, Rome and the Italian coast. Finish with a few nights in Rome before flying home.
Why it works
Barcelona is both a brilliant city break and a major homeport, so you get a real holiday before the ship, then wake up in a new Italian port each morning and finish in Rome instead of rushing for a flight.
