Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 3 countries over 7 nights, starting in Marseille and finishing in Barcelona, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 4 port days and 1 day at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

Your home for all 7 nights aboard MSC Lirica — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 7 Night Mediterranean is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC Lirica. You board in Marseille and disembark in Barcelona, calling at 4 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in France (Marseille), Italy (Genoa, Genoa, Civitavecchia and 1 more) and Spain (Barcelona, Barcelona).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Marseille and home from Barcelona, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 1 day 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.
