Mediterranean Getaway – Rome, Genoa & Marseille

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on August 18, 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. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Livorno (Florence/Pisa), which is known as Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
