Mediterranean Grand Tour – Riviera & Andalusia

About this cruise

This one leaves Marseille on August 2, 2026 and spends 10 nights visiting Málaga, Cádiz and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Portugal and Italy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
