Italian Riviera Escape – Genoa & Marseille

About this cruise

5 nights, 3 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Genoa on October 29, 2026 and visits Marseille, Tarragona and Civitavecchia (Rome). With 3 port days and barely any sea days, it's maximum time on land. 3 countries (France, Spain and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Magnifica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
