Ocean Discovery – Tarragona, Valencia & La Spezia

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 Marseille on May 11, 2028 visits Tarragona, Valencia, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Of the stops, Valencia tends to be the one people talk about: Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Marseille 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.
