Mediterranean Grandeur – Menorca, Sardinia & Lisbon

About this cruise

10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Alicante on May 20, 2026 visits Port Mahon, Olbia and Genoa, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 4 countries (Spain, Italy, France and Portugal) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Olbia, Sardinia's Emerald Coast at your feet. 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. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
