Mediterranean Grandeur – Menorca, Sardinia & Lisbon

About this cruise

10 nights, 7 ports, all from Alicante on May 30, 2026. The route visits Port Mahon, Olbia and Genoa, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Italy, France and Portugal. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
