Mediterranean Quest – St Maarten & Azores

About this cruise

16 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Miami on April 10, 2027 and the route takes you through Philipsburg, Ponta Delgada and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You get off in Marseille, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 7 port calls start. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Netherlands to France. Don't rush through Málaga, which is known as Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Meraviglia has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 7 ports across 16 nights covers a lot.
