Coastal Dreams – Riviera & Rome

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Marseille on September 10, 2026 visits Tarragona, Valencia, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. Tarragona alone is worth the trip, Roman amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
