Ship tip

Use the MSC for me App for free communication on board. Check your phone number on the cabin to call your partner.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Nice small town to walk through. Train to Rome takes some time.

Palermo, Sicily

3 out of 5
Many taxi drivers aggressive trying to sell a ride. Dirty. Many parking cars blocking the crosswalks.

Valletta, Malta Did not visit port

Bad weather - change of route. Visited Palma de Mallorca instead

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Lovely city. Cheap transfer to the city.

Marseille (Provence), France

4 out of 5
There is a free shuttle from the port - you just have to find it!

Genoa, Italy Did not visit port

Been there before, don’t really like the city.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation could have taken place earlier because only few passengers disembarked.
