Sunken Empires – Olympia & Rome to Valencia

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Piraeus (Athens) on October 26, 2026 for 5 nights visiting Katakolon, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Valencia. Last stop: Valencia. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. 3 countries (Greece, Italy and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on MSC Sinfonia. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
