Breathtaking Mediterranean – Riviera & Sicily

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Marseille on July 23, 2027 and visits Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza and Valencia. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Musica takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Marseille has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You start in Marseille and come back with stories from Italy and Spain.
