Mediterranean Marvels – Marseille & Malta

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on April 10, 2026 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. Keep an eye out for Genoa: Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC World Europa. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 7 nights well spent.
