Baroque Horizon – Sicily, Valletta & Barcelona

About this cruise

You sail from Messina on August 11, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa and Naples. 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 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Malta, Spain, France and 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, There are 9 restaurants on MSC World Europa, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
