Ocean Discovery – Tarragona, Marseille & Genoa

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Tarragona on April 15, 2027 visits Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza and Valencia and doesn't try to cram in too much. Disembarkation is in Valencia. 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: France, Italy and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Genoa, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Musica takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
