Ocean Discovery – Valencia, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) & Civitavecchia (Rome)

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night sailing from Valencia on October 24, 2026 visits Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Catania, Corfu, Kotor and Bari. You finish in Bari. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Greece and Montenegro. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Bari alone is worth the trip, Puglia's salty, sun-bleached harbour town. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Orchestra takes the food seriously, with 5 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. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
