Mediterranean Escape – Lisbon & Genoa
About this cruise
Book 5 days off from October 5, 2026 and this cruise from Lisbon will do the rest, taking you to Alicante, Port Mahon, Olbia and Genoa and back. The trip wraps in Genoa, so you won't retrace your steps. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Keep an eye out for Olbia: Sardinia's Emerald Coast at your feet. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Lisbon itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 5 nights well spent.
