Velvet Dreams – Riviera & Lisbon
About this cruise
By May 28, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 10 nights out of Genoa, visiting Marseille, Málaga and Cádiz, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from France to Italy. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Sinfonia has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Genoa and come back with stories from France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
