Mediterranean Riviera – Genoa & Marseille

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Genoa on September 16, 2026 visits 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. 3 countries (France, Spain and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Marseille, which is known as France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
