Ocean Discovery – Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo & Ibiza

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Genoa on April 22, 2028 visits Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza, Valencia and Marseille. 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 Italy, Spain and France, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Ibiza tends to be the one people talk about: White-island energy from sunset to sunrise. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Musica 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
