Mediterranean Grandeur – Menorca, Sardinia & Lisbon

About this cruise

You board in Alicante on June 9, 2026 for 10 nights visiting Port Mahon, Olbia and Genoa, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. 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. Lisbon alone is worth the trip, Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. 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. Worth booking. That's the short version.
