Mediterranean Getaway – Genoa, Naples & Barcelona

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Genoa on March 2, 2026 visits Naples, Palermo, La Goulette (Tunis), Barcelona and Marseille. 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, Spain and France, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Palermo: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Splendida 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 7 nights well spent.
