Mediterranean Riviera – Valencia & Marseille

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 5 nights from Valencia on April 25, 2026, visiting Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille. Disembarkation is in Marseille. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Marseille, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Orchestra has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
