Mediterranean Grand Tour – Riviera & Andalusia

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Marseille on August 12, 2026 visits Málaga, Cádiz and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Spain, Portugal and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Port Mahon: Menorca's deep-water harbour of gin and Georgian charm. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Opera. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 10 nights well spent.
