Topaz Trails – Riviera & Lisbon

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 10 nights from Genoa on May 13, 2026, visiting Marseille, Málaga and Cádiz, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from France to Italy. People come back from this cruise talking about Málaga: Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Opera has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 7 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
