Mediterranean Grandeur – Barcelona & Rome
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 Barcelona on December 18, 2026 visits Cádiz, Casablanca and Málaga, 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Spain to France. Genoa stands out. It's Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Magnifica has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All in all, it's a solid trip.
