Soul of the Sea – Barcelona, Genoa & Rome
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 Valencia on December 18, 2027 visits Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome). A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, France and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for 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. MSC Lirica takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. That's 7 nights well spent.
