Mediterranean Grandeur – Riviera & Balearics

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from Marseille on June 28, 2027, visiting Málaga, Portimao and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to Italy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Sinfonia has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 10 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
