Mediterranean Magic – Genoa, Barcelona & Marseille

About this cruise

You board in Genoa on December 22, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Valencia, Barcelona and Marseille, 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Spain and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Civitavecchia (Rome) stands out. It's The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Sinfonia takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All in all, it's a solid trip.
