Jewel of the Med – Rome, Cannes & Barcelona
About this cruise
7 nights, 5 ports, all from Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 31, 2027. The route visits Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cannes, Barcelona, Ibiza and Cagliari and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, France and Spain, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Fantasia keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
