Old World Aura – Valletta & Marseille

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Valletta on September 2, 2026. The route visits Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Naples and Messina and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 3 countries (Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on MSC World Europa. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
