Jewel of the Med – French Riviera & Ibiza

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Marseille on May 20, 2026 visits Valencia, Ibiza, Cagliari, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. Keep an eye out for Valencia: Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Musica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 7 nights well spent.
