About This Cruise
The 21 Night MSC Grand Voyages is a 21-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC World Europa. You board in Genoa and disembark in Abu Dhabi, calling at 13 ports across 8 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Genoa, Civitavecchia, Naples), Greece (Piraeus), Turkey (Marmaris), Cyprus (Limassol), Egypt (Alexandria), Oman (Muscat) and 2 more.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Genoa and home from Abu Dhabi, 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.
