Mediterranean Marvels – Rome, Malta & Barcelona

About this cruise

This one leaves Genoa on April 12, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to France. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC World Europa has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
