Ocean Discovery – Malaga, Cadiz & Lisbon

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Marseille on July 15, 2028 visits Málaga, Cádiz and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Alicante alone is worth the trip, A castle-topped city on the Costa Blanca. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Sinfonia takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
