Coastal Elegance – Riviera & Barcelona
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Marseille on October 9, 2026 and visits Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza and Barcelona. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Seaview has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Marseille and come back with stories from Italy and Spain.
