Mediterranean Escape – Barcelona & Palma
About this cruise
4 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Málaga on November 12, 2026 visits Alicante, Palma de Mallorca, Marseille and Barcelona and you'll feel it from day one. Disembarkation is in Barcelona. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. 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 Virtuosa keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 1 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 November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Málaga and come back with stories from Spain and France.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.

Getting there: out to Málaga, home from Barcelona
This cruise does not return to Málaga. It ends in Barcelona, so your flight home leaves from there.
