Golden Sands & Moorish Echoes – Casablanca & Cádiz

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night round-trip sailing from Marseille on December 7, 2027 visits Tarragona, Cádiz and Casablanca, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Morocco and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Genoa, which is known as Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Magnifica takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 7 ports across 10 nights covers a lot.
