Ocean Discovery – La Valletta, Barcelona & Marseille
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 Palermo on October 28, 2027 visits Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa and Naples. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Malta, Spain, France and Italy. Don't rush through Genoa, which is known as Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Seaview has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Palermo itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
