Mediterranean Masterpiece – Riviera, Rome & Valletta

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Marseille on February 14, 2026, visiting Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina, Valletta and Barcelona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Italy, Malta and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Genoa, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC World Europa. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
