Portofino Drift – Genoa, Marseille & 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 July 16, 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Malta. Naples stands out. It's Chaos, pizza, and passion beneath Vesuvius. 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. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
