Mediterranean Magic – Genoa, Barcelona & Marseille

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Genoa on December 1, 2026 visits Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Valencia, Barcelona and Marseille. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Spain and France. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Marseille, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Sinfonia has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Genoa itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
