Jade Journey – Italy & Spain

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Genoa on May 16, 2026 visits Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza, Barcelona and Marseille. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Spain and France, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ibiza, White-island energy from sunset to sunrise. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Seaview keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
