1nt Genoa & 7nts Mediterranean Italy, France, Spain Cruise with MSC
Genoa, Italy
Located in northwest Italy, Genoa is an absolute gem. It’s the capital of the Liguria region and offers wonderful views over the Ligurian Sea. There’s so much to see and do here, but no trip would be complete without a walk down Via Garibaldi – a UNESCO-listed street with beautiful buildings abound.
This port city has so much to see and do on dry land from the aquarium and 76m-high lighthouse, through to museums, castles and cathedrals. There are many narrow lanes to explore on foot or you can take a boat trip which provides the chance to see whales and dolphins up close.
As you’d expect from an Italian city, Genoa’s gastronomic offerings are legendary. These include the famous farinata (chickpea tarts), sumptuous fresh seafood and wonderful pesto in the city where it originated around 400 years ago.
If you’ve never been before it’s time to get to know Genoa.

The Galleria perfect place for dining, shopping, or simply taking in the unique atmosphere, no matter what time of the day. And when the sun sets, it takes on another life, with LED dome shows, concerts, discos, and parties late into the night. Thanks to our Broadway-style theatres you can enjoy superlative entertainment with an international line-up of artists without having to leave the ship. The Atmosphere Pool on MSC Grandiosa offers plenty of space for relaxing and soaking up the sun. Illuminated by elegant lighting and a giant screen, the beautifully designed main pool area becomes an even more atmospheric venue in the evenings.
