Azure Wake – Portofino, Rome & Barcelona

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Marseille on June 6, 2027, visiting Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. 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. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Most ports give you about 11 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 World Europa has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
