French & Italian Riviera – Cannes, Genoa & Barcelona

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Cannes on August 16, 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. Of the stops, La Spezia tends to be the one people talk about: Gateway to the pastel villages of Cinque Terre. 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. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
