Mediterranean Getaway – Genoa, Naples & Barcelona

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Genoa on April 6, 2026, visiting Naples, Palermo, La Goulette (Tunis), Barcelona and Marseille. 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 route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Tunisia, Spain and France. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
