Mediterranean Magic – Genoa & Barcelona

About this cruise

By December 28, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Marseille, visiting Genoa, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Valencia and Barcelona, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. You get around 12 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. Marseille has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
