Mediterranean Gems – Marseille, Genoa & Valletta

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on May 2, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Palermo and Valletta. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Western Mediterranean route takes in France, Italy and Malta, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Seaview keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 2 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 spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
