Taking 4 ferries in 4 nights across the Mediterranean

THIS was a fantastic cruise alternative!

Join me on a unique four-night journey through the Mediterranean, where I hop from Barcelona to Mallorca, Toulon, Corsica and finally Genoa—each night on a different overnight ferry.

Whether you’re planning your own ferry trip or just interested in seeing the highlights of an overnight ferry adventure, this vlog will take you through what to expect, from boarding processes to onboard amenities and overnight experiences.

Discover the best way to navigate the Mediterranean Sea, as well as tips on how to make the most of overnight ferry trips.

  1. Nice video, and quite an adventure I must say. I visited Bastia twice (and I have a video dedicated to the city on my french channel). It's nice that you could enjoy this beautiful city in which no actual cruise ship stop, just mainly ferries. Thanks for the trip !

  2. I really enjoyed watching the video – my only very slight criticism, as someone who is interested in ferries, is that you did not give the ferry names on each leg of the trip…….nice to be able to compare amenities/restaurants etc. on each ship. Disappointing to see the state of that shower, I have never seen anything that bad on a ferry before.

  3. I've made this trip twice with a friend to take furniture to my flat in Mallorca. Both times we slept in the restaurant stretched out on the seats. This ferry is primarily for freight traffic and those guys are king.
