Sun-Drenched Ramparts – Rome, Tangier & Portimao
About this cruise
Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Barcelona on April 11, 2027 and visits Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Alicante, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 10 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 5 countries (France, Italy, Spain, Morocco and Portugal) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Livorno (Florence/Pisa) stands out. It's Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Sinfonia. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
