Mediterranean to Miami – Genoa & Barcelona

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 18 nights from Genoa on October 26, 2026, visiting La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palma de Mallorca, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Miami. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Puerto Rico and United States. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Grandiosa has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 18 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 18-night sailing is a strong place to start.
