Dockside Dream – Malaga, Lisbon & Genoa

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 10 nights from Málaga on June 25, 2026, visiting Cádiz, Lisbon and Alicante, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Portugal, Italy and France. Of the stops, Marseille tends to be the one people talk about: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Málaga itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
