Galleon's Wake – Marseille & Genoa

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 Valletta on April 29, 2026 visits Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Naples and Messina. 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 (Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Naples alone is worth the trip, Chaos, pizza, and passion beneath Vesuvius. 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 April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
