Sapphire Seas – Rome, Ibiza & Marseille
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 Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 30, 2027 visits Palermo, Ibiza, Valencia, Marseille and Genoa. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Italy, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Palermo: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Musica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
