Tarragona, Spain, is a treasure trove of Roman history nestled along the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast. The city's ancient ruins, including the impressive Tarraco Amphitheatre and the UNESCO-listed Roman walls, offer a fascinating glimpse into the past.

Stroll through the charming Old Town to admire the medieval architecture and discover hidden gems around every corner. For a taste of local culture, the Tarragona Cathedral, with its mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles, is a must-see.

Tarragona also serves as an alternative port for cruisers heading to Barcelona. Ships dock at Port Tarragona, which is roughly 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) from Tarragona's city center and about 92 kilometers (57 miles) from Barcelona, with a travel time of approximately 1 hour by car or train.

Several thousand years of activity, both human and natural, have helped shape Marseille, France, into the city it is today. Marseille’s terracotta rooftops, turquoise sea, limestone rocks and vivid street art form a landscape like no other in France.

MSC shore excursions let you discover tucked-away treasures like the model boats that hang from the ceiling of Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde. Snap photos of the Cathedral of Marseille that sits overlooking the ocean. Amble around Le Vieux-Port, admiring the sea views and lingering over a drink at a cafe terrace.

Portofino, surrounded by verdant hills, is a playground for celebrities and VIPs.Explore Genoa on foot with MSC Cruises. Wander narrow streets to Piazza de Ferrari, visit Palazzo Ducale, and admire UNESCO sites like Palazzo Bianco. Enjoy Ligurian cuisine and see the Cathedral of San Lorenzo before returning to the ship.

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.
