What Are the Best MSC Mediterranean Cruise Destinations?
When it comes to historic significance and culinary excellence, the Mediterranean makes for a leading cruise destination that certainly won’t disappoint. Here are some of the top ports that guests can discover with MSC Mediterranean cruises:
Spain
No matter which coast you choose, making a stop in Spain is sure to enrich any Mediterranean itinerary. Become immersed in the scents and flavours of Bilbao's La Ribera food market, discover artistic genius at the Picasso Museum in Malaga, or walk the beautiful Gaudí streets of Barcelona.
Italy
Whether you’re fascinated by pizza, the Romans or both, Italy has no shortage of things to discover across its many popular ports. Rome has everything history lovers could wish for with its Colosseum and the Vatican, while in Naples, the ruins of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast are sure to impress.
Greece
The islands and cities of Greece make for a thrilling and enriching chapter of any Mediterranean adventure. Guests can hop between beautiful islands, delving into the authentic cuisine of each as they go, and discover the ancient city of Athens, home to philosophical and political ideas still cherished today.
France
The southern coastline of France is home to Marseille, a popular and beautiful addition to many MSC Mediterranean cruise itineraries. Although its harbour is sensational enough on its own, the city is also home to the powerful Notre-Dame de la Garde as well as the Château d’If of Count of Monte Cristo fame.
Malta
Small but not to be overlooked, Malta offers plenty to inspire cruisers from all over the world. The city of Valetta has gardens and architecture to rival those of its larger European neighbours, while the Blue Lagoon’s white sands and rugged cliff faces are a natural beauty.
