Crimson Cruising – Barcelona & Cannes

About this cruise

You sail from Palma de Mallorca on May 22, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Barcelona, Cannes, Genoa, La Spezia and Civitavecchia (Rome). It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, France and Italy. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Grandiosa has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
