Golden Sands & Moorish Echoes – Casablanca & Cádiz

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from Marseille on December 7, 2027, visiting Tarragona, Cádiz and Casablanca, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Morocco and Italy. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Magnifica has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
