Fisherman’s Knot – Sicily, Genoa & Provence
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 Barcelona on July 31, 2026 visits Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina and Valletta. 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 (France, Italy and Malta) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Valletta stands out. It's A fortress city of honey-coloured stone. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC World Europa. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
