Barcelona
& Western Med Europa Cruise
9 Nights
MSC World Europa
Barcelona
is an excellent place to start and end your cruise from. A relatively quick
flight from just over two hours delivers you to this wonderful Catalunya city
full off fun, sights and delights - there is even a great beach too. Everything
centres around Las Ramblas a wide treelined avenue which runs from the
Christopher Columbus statue at the gateway to the cruise port all the way to up
to the Place de Catalunya. Off to the right-hand side is the unfinished and
eye-catching draw of the city - The Sagrada Familia Cathedral. Off to the
left-hand side of Catalunya Square is the university area which offers a great
nightlife scene away from the tourist crowds of Las Ramblas. Sightseeing,
beaches, nightlife, shopping and delicious Spanish Tapas - Barcelona has it
all.
Relax
in Italian style for a seven-night cruise to the major ports of the western
Mediterranean. Sample the French countryside of Provence from Marseille,
explore the birthplace of Christopher Columbus in Genoa, venture out to Pompeii
in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius from Naples and discover the history of Malta
and Sicily.

MSC World Europa
The
first in its class – this 215,863 GRT ship carries 6,762 passengers. From her
stunning silhouette to her signature plumb bow, the futuristic MSC World Europa
is as visually striking as she is innovative. Her unique Y-shaped open aft
leads to the 104m long outdoor World Promenade, with incredible panoramic ocean
views. MSC World Europa was designed to elevate the delights of a traditional
cruise ship to entirely new levels. From her sleek interior design to her 13 dining
venues to her thrilling entertainment offerings, the onboard experience is like
no other cruise ship. There is something for everyone on board , from the
largest waterpark in the MSC fleet, to bumper cars, and new surprise street
performances. And with seven swimming pools spread across the ship, including
one with a sliding roof at the Botanic Pool Garden, there’s always space to
relax by the water and pool deck.
