Mediterranean Cruise – France, Italy & Spain

7-Night Western Mediterranean Cruise Itinerary | MSC Seaview

Day 1: Marseille, France

Embark on MSC Seaview from the vibrant city of Marseille where Provence comes crashing into the sea: bustling city and beautiful coastline, Belle Époque facades and bold street art, Provençal and multicultural traditions. France's oldest city is also its most original, appealing to both first-time and seasoned visitors, as you will discover on a Marseille cruise.

Day 2: Genoa, Italy

Gateway to the Italian Riviera, the Port of Genoa is one of the most important (and one of the largest) in Italy, a strategic harbour since ancient times.

Cruises to Genoa offer the opportunity to taste signature dishes made from fresh ingredients, such as pesto Genovese and focaccia. On a Genoa cruise, guests can also admire one of Italy’s most beautiful stretches of coastline or an excursion to the UNESCO-listed Cinque Terre. Its five fishing villages, perched on steep cliffs, offer superb sea views, small seafood restaurants, and a tableau of townhouses. A short trip away from Genoa, Portofino beckons with colourful facades, boutiques and surrounding lush hills. 

Day 3: Civitavecchia, Italy

All roads lead to Rome, the saying goes, and it certainly felt that way through the centuries as Emperors and Popes used their vast wealth to build monuments worthy of this great city. This living history has withstood the test of time. It is still possible to stand in the Colosseum and imagine you are watching a gladiatorial battle, to picture horses racing across the Circus Maximus or to feel divinely inspired in the Pantheon.  The entire city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site overflowing with history and art, from the curve of the Spanish Steps to the echoing halls of the Vatican Museums. Take your fill of cobbled streets and Baroque masterpieces.

Day 4: Palmero, Italy

The port of Palermo, is the regional capital of the island of Sicily. This cosmopolitan city is known for its heavenly architecture, serious street food, and outrageously beautiful beaches. Enjoy guided tours and explore the atmospheric streets of Cefalù where you can shop local wares at the craft shops.

Day 5: Day At Sea

Enjoy a full day at sea onboard MSC Seaview. Take advantage of the pools, spa, entertainment, and dining options as you soak in panoramic Mediterranean views.

Day 6: Ibiza, Spain

Though primarily known for its party scene, Ibiza, aims to impress with its fortified old town, rich archaeological sites and brilliant array of beaches. 

Day 7: Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona offers experiences and sights for all, from classical and modern art to daring architecture, from innovative design to ancient history, plus world-class gastronomy (covering local cuisine and fine dining) and an enviable coastline.

Day 8: Marseille, France
Return to France and disembark. If you would like to extend your stay adventure by exploring more of this vibrant city, simply let us know and we will be happy to tailor your experience to your preferences.
