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

About this cruise

You sail from Tarragona on September 22, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting Valencia, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 3 countries (Spain, Italy and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Magnifica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
