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 September 2, 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 Western Mediterranean route takes in France, Spain and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Livorno (Florence/Pisa): Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Orchestra keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
