Riviera Retreat – Riviera & Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Marseille on May 29, 2026 visits Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza and Barcelona 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. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. 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 Seaview has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
