Ancient Olive Routes – Marseille, Palermo & Tunis

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on October 30, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Palermo and La Goulette (Tunis). 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Tunisia. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Euribia launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
