Mediterranean Grand Tour – Alicante & Genoa

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 10 nights from Lisbon on August 16, 2026, visiting Alicante, Port Mahon and Olbia, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to France. Genoa stands out. It's Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Opera has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
