Opal Escapes – Rome, Palermo & Ibiza

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Marseille on September 3, 2027 visits Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza and Valencia and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Of the stops, Valencia tends to be the one people talk about: Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. 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 Musica has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
