Mediterranean Magic – Genoa, Barcelona & Marseille

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Genoa on March 30, 2027 and visits Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Valencia, Barcelona and Marseille. 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 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Spain and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 11 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. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Genoa has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
