Lapis Coastline – Riviera, Sicily & 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 Marseille on September 18, 2027 visits Genoa, Naples, Messina, Valletta and Barcelona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to Spain. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Messina, Sicily's gateway to Mount Etna and Taormina. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC World Asia launched in 2026, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
