Jade Swell – Naples, Malta & Barcelona

About this cruise

This one leaves Marseille on July 3, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Genoa, Naples, Messina, Valletta and Barcelona at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. 3 countries (Italy, Malta and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC World Asia joined the MSC Cruises's lineup in 2026. Still has that new-ship feel. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
