Echoes of Empires Voyage – Naples, Palermo & Tunis

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Marseille on January 9, 2028 visits Genoa, Naples, Palermo, La Goulette (Tunis) and Barcelona 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Tunisia and Spain, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. La Goulette (Tunis) stands out. It's Gateway to Carthage and the Tunis medina. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Euribia (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Marseille before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All in all, it's a solid trip.
