Mediterranean Riviera – Cannes, Genoa & Rome

About this cruise

This one leaves Barcelona on October 10, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Cannes, Genoa, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palma de Mallorca at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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 Western Mediterranean route takes in France, Italy and Spain, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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 keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 1 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Barcelona and come back with stories from France, Italy and Spain.
