Mediterranean Grand Tour – Riviera & Andalusia

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night round-trip sailing from Marseille on June 23, 2026 visits Málaga, Cádiz and Lisbon, 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Portugal and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Olbia alone is worth the trip, Sardinia's Emerald Coast at your feet. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Opera keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Marseille before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
