Sunken Amphora – Florence, Rome & Barcelona

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from April 6, 2027 and let this sailing from Genoa do its thing. The route covers Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Valencia, Barcelona and Marseille and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. 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. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Civitavecchia (Rome), The Eternal City is just an hour away. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Sinfonia keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
