Sun-Drenched Lintel – Riviera, Sicily & Naples

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Barcelona on May 22, 2026 visits Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina and Valletta 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from France to Malta. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Messina, Sicily's gateway to Mount Etna and Taormina. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC World Europa has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
