Mediterranean Getaway – Rome, Genoa & Marseille

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 Civitavecchia (Rome) on July 28, 2026 visits Genoa, Marseille, Tarragona, Valencia and Livorno (Florence/Pisa). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, France and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Genoa, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Orchestra takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 3 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 July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
