Rich Port Tales – Barcelona, Genoa & Rome
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Palma de Mallorca on September 15, 2028 visits Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, La Spezia and Civitavecchia (Rome). 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: Spain, France and Italy. Keep an eye out for Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 9 restaurants on MSC World Europa, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Palma de Mallorca 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.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
