Emerald Passage – Genoa & Valletta

About this cruise

You board in Marseille on June 28, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Genoa, Naples, Palermo, Valletta and Barcelona, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Malta and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Barcelona: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Seaview takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
