Emerald Drift – Rome, Palermo & Ibiza

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Marseille on August 27, 2027 visits Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza and Valencia. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Don't rush through Palermo, which is known as Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Musica keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
