Short Ocean Escape – Alicante, Port Mahon & Olbia
About this cruise
A lot can happen in 3 nights. This sailing from Alicante on October 7, 2026 visits Port Mahon, Olbia and Genoa and makes every day count. You wind up in Genoa, so it's worth planning a night or two there. No sea days at all on this one. 3 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Olbia stands out. It's Sardinia's Emerald Coast at your feet. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Opera has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
