French & Italian Riviera – Cannes, Genoa & Barcelona

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Cannes on May 10, 2026 visits Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Barcelona, Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Grandiosa takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 1 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
