Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 9 countries over 25 nights, starting in Civitavecchia (Rome) and finishing in Durban, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 12 port days and 14 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

Your home for all 25 nights aboard MSC Sinfonia — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 25 Night MSC Grand Voyages is a 25-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC Sinfonia. You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) and disembark in Durban, calling at 12 ports across 9 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Civitavecchia), Sicily (Messina), Greece (Rhodes), Cyprus (Limassol), Egypt (Alexandria, Sharm El Sheikh, Safaga), Seychelles (Mahe) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Civitavecchia (Rome) and home from Durban, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 14 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.
