Enchanting Mediterranean – Riviera & Rome

About this cruise

You leave Marseille on October 30, 2026 and come back 5 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Tarragona, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. Every morning brings a new view out of the window. You barely have time to get comfortable on board before the next port appears. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Magnifica 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 5-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
