Ochre Gable – Genoa, Provence & Sicily

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Barcelona on October 29, 2027 visits Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina and Valletta. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from France to Malta. Marseille stands out. It's France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC World Asia launched in 2026, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
