Azure Wake – Genoa, Rome & Barcelona

About this cruise

You board in Marseille on July 4, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Of the stops, La Spezia tends to be the one people talk about: Gateway to the pastel villages of Cinque Terre. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC World Europa keeps you well fed. 9 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Marseille before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
