Sapphire Waters & Cities – Rome, Barcelona & Marseille

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Livorno (Florence/Pisa) on March 18, 2026 visits Civitavecchia (Rome), Valencia, Barcelona, Marseille and Genoa. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to France. People come back from this cruise talking about Barcelona: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Orchestra has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
