Vibrant Voyages – Genoa & Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Marseille on December 21, 2026 visits Genoa, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Valencia and Barcelona and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Of the stops, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) tends to be the one people talk about: Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Sinfonia has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Marseille itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
