Velvet Voyages – Valencia & Rome

About this cruise

You board in Tarragona on October 16, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Valencia, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Spain, Italy and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Valencia alone is worth the trip, Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
