Biscay & Baltic Drift – Marseille, Bilbao & Rostock

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 5, 2027 through Genoa, Marseille and Tarragona, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You finish in Warnemünde (Rostock). You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. 4 countries (Italy, France, Spain and Germany) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Warnemünde (Rostock) alone is worth the trip, A Hanseatic harbour town with Baltic charm. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Magnifica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
