Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 11 countries over 28 nights, starting in Genoa and finishing in Durban, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 15 port days and 14 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

The Ship
Your home for all 28 nights aboard MSC Sinfonia — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 28 Night MSC Grand Voyages is a 28-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC Sinfonia. You board in Genoa and disembark in Durban, calling at 15 ports across 11 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Genoa), France (Marseille), Sardinia (Olbia), Italy (Civitavecchia), Sicily (Messina), Greece (Rhodes) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Genoa 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.
