24 Night Cruise from Southampton
About this cruise
Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 24-night sailing from Southampton on November 7, 2026 visits A Coruña, Cádiz and Málaga, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Rio de Janeiro, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, France, Portugal and Brazil. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Virtuosa has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 24 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
