Mediterranean Marvels – Marseille & Malta
About this cruise
7 nights, 5 ports, all from Barcelona on December 4, 2026. The route visits Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina and Valletta and the whole thing just flows. 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 route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Malta. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC World Asia launched in 2026, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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.
