Mediterranean Escape – Riviera & Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Genoa on September 13, 2026. The route visits Naples, Messina, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to France. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC World Europa has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Genoa and come back with stories from Italy, Malta, Spain and France.
