Your Holiday Itinerary
Day1 Naples, Italy
Today you fly to Naples and board the MSC Bellissima to begin your journey through the Western Mediterranean. You will experience many beautiful destinations on this cruise and also enjoy a huge range of facilities for enjoying relaxation, fine dining and fun activities on board your ship.
Day2 Messina, Sicily
Say buonjourno to the beautiful city of Messina! This stunning Sicilian harbour city is filled with glorious scenery and historical sites, including the must-see Messina Cathedral, which lies only a ten minute walk away from the port. One cannot visit Sicily without sampling its cuisine, so ensure you make pitstop at one of the nearby restaurants for some sublime and authentic arancini!
Day3 Valletta, Malta
Today will see you arrive in the historic city of Valletta. The city center is located a ten minute walk from the cruise port, and is chock-full of impressive sights and historic landmarks. Feast your eyes upon the City Gate, Parliament Building and Opera House, or take some time to enjoy its beautiful beaches and seaside restaurants.
Day4 At Sea
Today you will have time to spend as you wish on board your cruise ship, discovering all of its fantastic facilities. With so much to do, so many places to eat and drink and so many ways to unwind, you’ll find that on your cruise holiday, the journey is just as enjoyable as exploring the destination.
Day5 Barcelona, Spain
Today, you arrive in the Catalan capital of Spain. The enchanting seaside city of Barcelona is packed full of culture, brimming with exquisite architecture and laden with superb dining spots. Hop off your ship and stroll towards La Rambla – Barcelona's most famous street – located a 15 minute walk away from the port. From here, you will find a wealth of sights, shops and restaurants to explore. Topflight recommends visiting El Barrio Gótico aka the Gothic Quarter, one of the oldest and most beautiful neighbourhoods in the city. A magical labyrinth of cobblestoned streets, lined with quaint shops, bustling bars and boutique shops, you will find no shortage of things to do here!
Day6 Marseille, France
Founded in 600 BC, Marseille is the oldest city in France and today you are free to explore this bustling port city in whatever way you choose! Le Vieux Port is a great spot to sit down and watch the hustle bustle of Marseille life, or indeed, watch the fishermen sell their fare at the morning fish market. Have a wander around Le Panier, Marseille’s old town, which is filled with magical, meandering cobblestoned streets lined with dainty cafés, eateries and shops. For those preferring a more historical experience, Topflight recommends visiting the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde, the Romano-Byzantine basilica perched on the city’s highest hill, La Garde.
Day7 Genoa, Italy
As Italy’s largest sea port, Genoa has a buzzing and lively atmosphere. Explore its rich history, fascinating culture and contemporary architecture. Stroll through the narrow laneways in its old city – located only a short stroll from the port – which has been rejuvenated with modern shops, restaurants and bars. If you haven't had enough of sea life just yet, Topflight recommends taking the 15 minute walk to the aquarium, which is the largest in Europe!
Day8-12 Sorrento, Italy
You will return to Naples today where you will bid farewell to your ship. You will then be transferred from Naples to enchanting Sorrento where you will enjoy 5 nights at the Hotel Caravel. A little of snippet of heaven within an Italian paradise, the elegant four star Caravel is hidden away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by lush greenery and offers great accommodation in a peaceful and chilled out location.
Sorrento may have become a jumping-off point for visitors to Pompeii, Capri, and Amalfi, but you can find countless reasons to love it for itself. The Sorrentine people are fair-minded and hardworking, bubbling with life and warmth. The tuff cliff on which the town rests is spread over the bay, absorbing sunlight, while orange and lemon trees waft their perfume in spring. Winding along a cliff above a small beach and two harbors, the town is split in two by a narrow ravine formed by a former mountain stream.
Day13 Return Home
Today you will be transferred to the airport and fly back to Dublin with a wealth of wonderful memories to treasure.
