Maroon Meanders – Barcelona & Cannes

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Palma de Mallorca on July 17, 2026 visits Barcelona, Cannes, Genoa, La Spezia and Civitavecchia (Rome) and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to Italy. Genoa alone is worth the trip, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Grandiosa has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
