Mediterranean Gems – Riviera, Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Marseille on December 27, 2026 visits Genoa, Naples, Palermo, La Goulette (Tunis) and Barcelona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Tunisia and Spain, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Palermo, Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Euribia launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Marseille before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
