17 Night Cruise from Marseille

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from November 15, 2026. This one's 17 nights from Marseille, and the route visits Barcelona, Funchal and Arrecife, with additional stops along the South America. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The sailing ends in Santos. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 3 countries along the South America coast: Spain, Portugal and Brazil. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Virtuosa has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 17-night sailing is a strong place to start.
