Lavender Lands – Rome, Ibiza & Marseille

About this cruise

You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 2, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Palermo, Ibiza, Valencia, Marseille and Genoa, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Spain and France. Marseille stands out. It's France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Musica has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Civitavecchia (Rome) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
