Ocean Discovery – Valencia, La Spezia & Civitavecchia (Rome)

About this cruise

You board in Tarragona on August 11, 2028 for 7 nights visiting Valencia, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to France. Of the stops, Genoa tends to be the one people talk about: Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Magnifica has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
