Mediterranean Marvels – Riviera & Malta

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on June 12, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina and Valletta. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 3 countries (France, Italy and Malta) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC World Europa. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
