The Route
The cruise sets sail from the Catalan capital of Barcelona. Arrive early to explore Antoni Gaudí’s architectural wonders, such as the Sagrada Família, before the ship departs at 18:00. Your first port of call is the lively French port city of Marseille, offering easy excursions to nearby Aix-en-Provence.
The journey continues along the Italian Riviera to Genoa, followed by Civitavecchia, the port gateway for day trips into Rome by regional train or organized tour. The ship then sails south to Messina on the island of Sicily, where you can explore the historic cathedral square or visit picturesque Taormina.
Next, you dock in Valletta, Malta. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital is celebrated for its baroque palaces, the grand St. John’s Co-Cathedral, and panoramic views from the Upper Barrakka Gardens. Following a restful day at sea crossing the Mediterranean, the cruise returns to Barcelona on the morning of Day 8.

The Ship
The MSC World Europa is MSC’s flagship and features many attractions on board. The ship is very versatile and can also be deployed in colder regions. However, it specializes in warmer regions like the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Caribbean. Instead of a single pool deck, the ship features a tiered design with pools and whirlpools on different levels, designed to comfortably accommodate up to 6,774 passengers.
One of the highlights is the split design of the cabin towers. This architecture creates significantly more exterior surface area for balcony cabins. You’ll need to choose whether you want a cabin facing inwards towards the promenade or outwards to the sea. Both have their advantages, depending on whether you prefer to relax or watch the lively activity. This design also creates new spatial concepts for a wide promenade and numerous speciality restaurants (available for an extra charge).
MSC has also packed the ship with attractions. The water park, with its numerous slides and play areas, is complemented by “The Venom Drop @ The Spiral,” a dry slide that descends 11 decks to the promenade. There are also bumper cars, show lounges, aesthetically designed upper decks, and a huge panoramic lounge at the stern of the ship.
The onboard language is English, but the staff speaks several European languages, and the currency used is the Euro.
