Sapphire Sea Serenade – Riviera & Rome

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Genoa on May 22, 2027, visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza, Valencia and Marseille. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 3 countries (Italy, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Musica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Genoa and come back with stories from Italy, Spain and France.
