16 Night Cruise from Rio de Janeiro

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from April 2, 2027. This one's 16 nights from Rio de Janeiro, and the route visits Maceio, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Tarragona, Marseille, Genoa and Civitavecchia (Rome). By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Last stop: Civitavecchia (Rome). It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. 4 countries (Brazil, Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on MSC Musica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
