Mediterranean Riviera – Genoa & Marseille

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Genoa on April 29, 2026, visiting Marseille, Tarragona, Valencia, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Spain and Italy. Of the stops, Tarragona tends to be the one people talk about: Roman amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Orchestra has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Genoa itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
