Gilded Riviera – Marseille, Genoa & Rome

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 Barcelona on June 19, 2027 visits Marseille, Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palma de Mallorca. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (France, Italy and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Of the stops, Civitavecchia (Rome) tends to be the one people talk about: The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC World Europa. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
