Mediterranean Riviera – Genoa & Marseille

About this cruise

You board in Genoa on July 29, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Marseille, Tarragona, Valencia, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (France, Spain and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Valencia, which is known as Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
