French & Italian Riviera – Cannes, Genoa & Barcelona
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 Cannes on August 2, 2026 visits Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. People come back from this cruise talking about Barcelona: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Grandiosa. 1 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
