Charming Mediterranean – Alicante & Genoa
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from Lisbon on September 10, 2027 visits Alicante, Port Mahon and Olbia, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Italy and France. Marseille stands out. It's France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Sinfonia has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Lisbon itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.

The price above matches MSC Cruises's USD site. MSC Cruises prices every country separately, so the others may show something different.
We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
