About This Cruise
The 18 Night MSC Grand Voyages is a 18-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC Virtuosa. You board in Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and disembark in Rio De Janeiro, calling at 8 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Livorno), France (Marseille), Spain (Barcelona, Malaga), Canary Islands (Tenerife) and Brazil (Maceio, Salvador De Bahia, Rio De Janeiro).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and home from Rio De Janeiro, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 11 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
