Sapphire Dream – Genoa & Valletta

About this cruise

You board in Marseille on May 24, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Genoa, Naples, Palermo, Valletta and Barcelona, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Malta and Spain. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Valletta, A fortress city of honey-coloured stone. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Seaview has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Marseille itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
