Ocean Discovery – Valencia, Palma De Mallorca & Barcelona

About this cruise

You sail from Valencia on November 20, 2026 and spend 6 nights visiting Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome). It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You wind up in Civitavecchia (Rome), so it's worth planning a night or two there. Every single day is a port day. 6 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, France and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Sinfonia takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Valencia has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
