Amber Sunsets – Riviera & Lisbon

About this cruise

You sail from Genoa on July 2, 2026 and spend 10 nights visiting Marseille, Málaga and Cádiz, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from France to Italy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Opera has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
