Mediterranean Riviera – Cannes, Genoa & Rome

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Barcelona on June 6, 2026 visits Cannes, Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palma de Mallorca. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Italy and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Civitavecchia (Rome) alone is worth the trip, The Eternal City is just an hour away. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Grandiosa takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 1 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
