Mediterranean Getaway – Riviera & Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Genoa on September 28, 2026 visits La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and Cannes and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Spain and France. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be La Spezia, Gateway to the pastel villages of Cinque Terre. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Grandiosa has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Genoa itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
