Mediterranean Grandeur – Menorca, Sardinia & Morocco
About this cruise
There's a reason 10-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Alicante on October 2, 2027 and visits Port Mahon, Olbia and Genoa, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Italy, France, Morocco and United Kingdom. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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 Sinfonia takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Alicante has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
