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 September 27, 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. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Civitavecchia (Rome) stands out. It's The Eternal City is just an hour away. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Grandiosa keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 1 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Cannes before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
