Mediterranean Magic – Riviera & Rome

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 Marseille on August 26, 2026 visits Valencia, Ibiza, Cagliari, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. Cagliari alone is worth the trip, Sardinia's sun-bleached capital of flamingos and fortresses. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Musica takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
