43.30° N · 5.37° E · MRS EMBARKATION

Board in Marseille. Wake in a new port every morning.

Unpack once and let the Mediterranean do the rest: France, Italy and Malta take turns outside your window while dinner is booked and the kids are in a club they love.

WHY MARSEILLE

Why sail from Marseille?

Marseille is the gateway of the western Mediterranean: MSC sailings depart weekly toward Italy, Malta and Spain. We arrange your flight in and a hotel night by the Vieux-Port — dinner at the old harbor while your ship waits — then a calm morning embarkation with no running after suitcases.

Ports of call

  1. 01 · MRS

    43.30° N · 5.37° E

    Marseille

    France · embarkation

    Where the story starts: a basilica keeping watch from the hill, an old port of glittering masts at dusk. One pre-sailing night is enough to taste it.

  2. 02 · GOA

    44.41° N · 8.93° E

    Genoa

    Italy · the sailors' city

    Your first Italian morning: narrow lanes branching off grand palazzi, and Ligurian cooking worth going ashore for.

  3. 03 · CIV

    42.09° N · 11.79° E

    Rome

    Italy · via Civitavecchia

    A full day in the eternal city from its port: the Colosseum, the fountain, and a longing that begins before you leave.

  4. 04 · PMO

    38.12° N · 13.36° E

    Palermo

    Sicily · the golden south

    Sicily of sun, markets and pastries: a port made for a long Mediterranean siesta after a morning ashore.

  5. 05 · MLA

    35.90° N · 14.51° E

    Valletta

    Malta · the honey fortress

    A honey-colored city your ship enters between three centuries of walls. Arriving by sea is the only correct way to see it.

ON BOARD · SEA DAYS

Life on board

Your day at sea unfolds however you like: a late breakfast with an open horizon, a swim, an evening show, or simply a quiet seat facing the water. When the ship docks, you step out to explore the port — then return to your room. No suitcases, no new hotels.

01

Interior stateroom

The smart economical choice — comfortable and quiet for travelers who spend their days up on deck.

02

Ocean-view stateroom

A panoramic window that brings the sea into your room from the moment you wake.

03

Balcony stateroom

Your own balcony for morning coffee — the most requested choice for couples and families.

04

Suites

More space and elevated services for those who want the voyage at its most luxurious.

FIT CHECK

Who this journey suits

  • Families — age-tiered kids' clubs, pools and evening shows

SIGNATURE

What makes it different

A cruise's value is created before boarding: a cabin chosen carefully in the right part of the ship, dinner times that fit your family, shore days booked before they sell out. That is the difference between buying a ticket and designing a sailing.

NEXT · 43.30° N

Your next step

Send your preferred dates, party size and children's ages if any; a consultant returns with MSC's actual Marseille schedules for that season, cabin options and clear costs.

In the interest of transparency

The route shown is a representative western-Mediterranean sailing: ports, order and dates vary by ship and season, and we confirm them from MSC's official schedules before any commitment. TripLand is an independent travel agency; cruises are operated by MSC Cruises.
