Your home for all 23 nights aboard MSC World Europa — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 23 Night MSC Grand Voyages is a 23-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC World Europa. You board in Doha and disembark in Barcelona, calling at 12 ports across 8 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Qatar (Doha), United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas), Oman (Muscat), Egypt (Safaga), Malta (La Valletta), Italy (Naples, Civitavecchia, Genoa) and 2 more.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Doha and home from Barcelona, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 12 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.
