23 Night Cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome)

About this cruise

Block out 23 nights from October 31, 2027 and let this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) do its thing. The route covers Palermo, Ibiza and Valencia, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Last stop: Santos. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 11 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal and Brazil, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Salvador tends to be the one people talk about: Afro-Brazilian rhythm in a colonial setting. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Musica keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
