Mediterranean to Baltic – Rome & Berlin

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 13 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 14, 2026, visiting Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Genoa and Marseille, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Warnemünde (Rostock), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. 4 countries (Italy, France, Spain and Germany) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on MSC Magnifica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 13 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
