Ochre Threshold – Barcelona, Marseille & La Spezia

About this cruise

You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) on April 28, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa and La Spezia, 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 Italy. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Genoa, 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 World Europa has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
