Mediterranean Marvels – Marseille & Malta
About this cruise
You board in Barcelona on February 26, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina and Valletta, 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. 3 countries (France, Italy and Malta) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Marseille alone is worth the trip, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC World Asia launched in 2026, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Worth booking. That's the short version.
