Sun-Drenched Riviera – Riviera & Rome
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Genoa on June 5, 2027 visits Civitavecchia (Rome), Palermo, Ibiza, Valencia and Marseille. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Spain and France, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Marseille, which is known as France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Musica keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
