Sapphire Exodus – Rome, Palermo & Ibiza

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 August 20, 2027 visits Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza and Valencia. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Don't rush through Genoa, which is known as Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Musica has 4 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. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
