Perched on the Adriatic Sea, the city of Bari has long served as an important port city for both ancient and modern Italy. The city's Old Town beckons visitors to explore with its medieval churches, pedestrian-friendly plazas, and its labyrinth of crooked streets and passageways. Ships will dock at the Port of Bari.

The lush and verdant island of Corfu lies in the Ionian Sea, midway between Greece and Italy. It is an island of sparkling beaches, mountains splashed with wildflowers, and historical, perched fortresses. Ships will dock at the town of Corfu.

Arrives: 09:00 Departs: 18:00

The whole of the Maltese capital Valletta is UNESCO World Heritage listed and occupies a peninsula in the north-east of the island. From the fountain of Tritons to Saint-Elme fort, there are as many majestic streets as there are narrow staircase vennels to explore. The painted loggia and carved corbels on the tall houses will accompany you in your explorations, and you’ll rarely be bothered by traffic.

You can visit the Grandmasters palace decorated with coats of arms and frescoes. Saint-John’s cathedral and the ramparts which have guarded the city since the 16th century are also among the most emblematic sites of the city. Arranged in terraces, the Barrakka Gardens will punctuate your promenade with a green and floral experience.

Arrives: 07:00 Departs: 15:00

Messina is located on the northeastern corner of Sicily and is the panoramic gateway to the island. Sitting on a sickle-shaped harbour and under the gaze of Mt. Etna, the city is a patchwork of churches and antique palaces. Ships will dock at the cruise terminal.

Top Things to Do in Messina:

  • take the scenic drive up Mt. Etna
  • explore Taormina’s medieval streets
  • enjoy a tasting at a local winery
  • admire the Messina Cathedral's bell tower
  • sail along the Strait of Messina
  • eat a Sicilian Cannoli

Arrives: 09:00

The ancient capital of the Western World and the centre of Christianity for nearly 2,000 years, Rome provides an inexhaustible feast of historical and cultural landmarks to explore. Visit the ruins of the Forum and the Colosseum, view the splendours of the Sistine Chapel, throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain or climb the Spanish Steps, once the heart of Rome's Bohemian Quarter.

Don't forget to treat your taste buds to the delights of authentic Roman cuisine, which is as captivating as the city's ancient wonders. Indulge in creamy gelato, savour the perfection of al dente pasta, and relish the thin, crispy crust of Roman-style pizza. Buon Appetito!

Port:Civitavecchia

Serving as Rome’s seaport since the 13th century, Civitavecchia is located about an hour (80km/50mi) from the centre of Rome.

Our MSC cruise was great!   0 , SA, Australia, Jul 2024
Overall the service was excellent and staff on the cruise were friendly and helpful. Food service not too bad, entertainment was great and we loved the way we got dropped off at each port to explore different cities and countries. My favorite part of each day was watching sunset on the deck until the sun went down and then sitting in the lounge, sipping ...read more cocktails and listening to music every evening. ❤️ Thank you for all your help to make our holiday special and memorable.
