Charming Ports – Rome, Cannes & Barcelona

About this cruise

You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) on April 12, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cannes, Barcelona, Ibiza and Cagliari, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, France and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Cagliari: Sardinia's sun-bleached capital of flamingos and fortresses. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Fantasia takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
