Mediterranean Getaway – Genoa, Naples & 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 Genoa on March 16, 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. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Tunisia, Spain and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Splendida takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
