Serene Mediterranean – Barcelona & Rome

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Valencia on December 12, 2026 visits Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome) and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Livorno (Florence/Pisa): Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Sinfonia. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
