Mediterranean Marvels – Rome, Malta & Barcelona

About this cruise

You board in Genoa on April 4, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille, 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to France. Of the stops, Marseille tends to be the one people talk about: 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
