Mediterranean Marvels – Marseille & Malta
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on April 2, 2027 and visits Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina and Valletta. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 3 countries (France, Italy and Malta) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. 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 (2026) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Barcelona and come back with stories from France, Italy and Malta.
