Mediterranean Getaway – Riviera & 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 May 11, 2026, visiting La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and Cannes. 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to France. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Grandiosa has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
