Orchid Spray – Riviera, Naples & Malta
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 Marseille on September 11, 2027 visits Genoa, Naples, Messina, Valletta and Barcelona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Malta and Spain. Keep an eye out for Genoa: Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. 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. Marseille itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 7 nights well spent.
