Mediterranean to Caribbean – Barcelona & St. Kitts

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. 18 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 29, 2026, visiting Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Genoa and Marseille, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in La Romana. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 8 countries, from Italy to Dominican Republic. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Opera has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Civitavecchia (Rome) and come back with stories from Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, Antigua & Barbuda, Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis and Dominican Republic.
