Emerald Escape – Valencia & Rome

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Tarragona on October 9, 2026 visits Valencia, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Spain, Italy and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Valencia: Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 7 nights well spent.
