Mediterranean Gems – Barcelona, Marseille & Rome

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on March 14, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Marseille, Genoa, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome) and Valencia, 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from France to Spain. Of the stops, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) tends to be the one people talk about: Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Sinfonia has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
