Mediterranean Riviera – Cannes, Genoa & Rome

About this cruise

You sail from Barcelona on August 22, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Cannes, Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palma de Mallorca. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Spain. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Grandiosa has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Barcelona and come back with stories from France, Italy and Spain.
