Coastal Opulence – Riviera & Lisbon

About this cruise

10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Genoa on May 23, 2026 visits Marseille, Málaga and Cádiz, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from France to Italy. Keep an eye out for Olbia: Sardinia's Emerald Coast at your feet. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Opera has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 10 nights well spent.
