Mediterranean Riviera – Cannes, Genoa & Rome

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Barcelona on May 30, 2026, visiting Cannes, Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palma de Mallorca. 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 Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 11 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 Grandiosa. 1 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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.
