Ocean Discovery – Cadiz, Casablanca & Malaga

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on December 28, 2027 for 10 nights visiting Cádiz, Casablanca and Málaga, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Morocco, Italy and France, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Civitavecchia (Rome), The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Magnifica keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
