DAY 1 - 02 May 2021
One of the most famous cities in the world, Rome has been an epicentre of politics, art, architecture, and food for thousands of years. It is home to some of the most well-known historic sites such as the Colosseum, the pantheon, and Vatican City. It’s easy to spend a day in a hundred different ways in Rome, whether you’re looking to sip on incredible wine and people-watch, indulge in decadent pasta, pizza, risotto, and gelato, or if you’re eager to wander around the streets soaking in all the history you can. Rome is one capital city which will always leave you wanting more.
DAY 2 - 03 May 2021
Palermo is the capital of Sicily, as well as the fifth Italian municipality by population. The city has a long history: it was in fact founded by the Phoenicians at the turn of the 7th and 6th centuries BC and was subject to the conquests of various populations, including Romans and Saracens. Numerous buildings are recognised by the State as national monuments due to their historical and artistic features, such as the Cathedral and the Martorana Church.
DAY 3 - 04 May 2021
Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, and was the cradle of the Pre-Nuragic culture. The city was founded by the Phoenicians in around the 8th century BC, and was later colonized by different populations due to its strategic position on the Mediterranean. Among the places of interest that stand out are the Bastion of Saint Remy, the ancient quarter of Castello, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and Santa Cecilia. There are also numerous other archaeological sites from different historical periods.
DAY 4 - 05 May 2021
On the coast of the largest Balearic island, this sun-soaked seaside city dates back to the 13th-century and is a must visit for any adventurer. A simple stroll will take you on a journey back in time, past breath-taking architecture, medieval history, bustling markets and to an endless array of authentic eateries. With so many hidden gems amongst iconic landmarks, places like Casa Antiguo are the best bet for a true taste of Palma culture.
DAY 5 - 06 May 2021
After diverting its flood-prone river to the outskirts of the city and converting the remaining riverbed into a flourishing park, Valencia has quickly become a tourist hotspot in Spain. Ever the innovative, it combines traditional Spanish charm with futuristic buildings and districts, such as the City of the Arts and Sciences. Whether you’re here to immerse yourself in the culture or for the sun, sand and sea, you’ll love Valencia.
DAY 6 - 07 May 2021
With a history dating back to the 5th century and the accolade of European Capital of Culture 2013, in Marseille you’ll find an old city full of charm to explore and pretty modern districts alike. Tuck into a classic pissaladière at the old port before visiting the famous coves of the Calanques National Park to the south- a stunning sight and only 25 minutes away by car. Before you leave don’t forget to buy a Marseille soap to give your suitcase a delicious holiday scent!
DAY 7 - 08 May 2021
The historic city of Genoa has played a pivotal role in Italy’s past, particularly when it comes to maritime endeavours. One of the world’s biggest shipbuilding yards – Fincantieri – is located here, and Genoa is also hometown to the famous explorer, Christopher Columbus. You can easily imagine the hustling, bustling travellers and traders of years gone by as you wander in the Old Port, and relive history in Piazza de Ferrari, and the mansions of Via Garibaldi. Sip on delicious wine and enjoy the very best seafood dishes in this pretty yet industrial Italian city.

Before the cruise, guests are encouraged to book onboard packages online and do web check-ins for a contactless experience. Prior to embarking, all guests will have to fill out a health questionnaire and have a temperature check. Those with a fever or flu-like symptoms will not be allowed onboard.
Social distancing will be maintained throughout the cruise with assigned arrival times for boarding, reduced capacity in venues and in outdoor areas, smaller activity groups and a Remote Guest Service Centre to avoid queues.
All crew members will undergo health screening before and during the cruise, and are well-trained in MSC's new protocol.
New cleaning methods will include hospital-grade disinfectants, increased frequency of cleaning and particular attention paid to regularly touched surfaces by highly-trained housekeeping staff, as well as a deep clean after each cruise.

It was a lovely ship with well appointed cabins and nice deck areas. The food and drinks were to an excellent standard, and staff were as per other cruise lines - very courteous, friendly and professional. The main shows were very good but unfortunately the only downside with the entertainment was that there was not much on for us after the main show and during the day when the ship was in port. We were also caught out with the service charges which were 70 euros each person (210 euro in total!) so make sure you allow for this as we never did. The staff deserve this service charge - just saying to allow for it as many did not. When we went to customer services many more were there too! All in all would certainly do another MSC cruise.

Just back from an amazing week on Seaview cannot fault iglu .Cabin was perfect. Supported in changing booking and adding on an extra person and cabin. We booked our own flights and all went smoothly. Massively impressed with the ship , it's layout, facilities,Cleanliness. Could not fault anything. Service charge was added on board which did not tally with our booking confirmation but guest services removed immediately. Food in Silver Dolphin was good choice and portions just right size. Our writers were fantastic and made the effort to chat each day. As a first timer I had no expectations of embarking and disembarking but this went smoothly. Some waiting but this is to be expected when dealing with large groups of passengers. Already looking at where I can go to next

The ship is absolutely beautiful, stunning in fact, however, be ready for the pushing, shoving, rudeness of the other travellers which generally are European, Don’t queue and have no respect for anyone. They made the ship a mess, leaving rubbish, smashed bottles to which the staff struggled to keep up with. On the all inclusive guests, Taking drinks / ice creams and then leaving half. On elegant evening we had taken ball gowns and tucks, on board ship we looked silly as other guests had made no effort at all even wearing swim shorts in the cocktail bars, might seem snobbish but that would be expected on a elegant evening. So don’t bother with your elegant dresses. The staff were surprised at manners and reacted with excellent service, they were having in average to work 14 hour days and they were physically and mentally tired, god help the reception staff who had a permanent queue of complaints. MSC are a Mediterranean company and because they are not British and used to manners, they do not see this as an issue. It’s the first time I have tried MSC and would normally cruise with P&O, Cunard or Princess to which I will now defiantly stick to.

A super cruise with a great itinerary enabling us to visit lots of places. This was our first cruise and on the whole we were impressed with the accommodation and the ship. We were a little disappointed about a few things, the main one being the disorganisation at times. It took 3 hours of queuing to embark on the first day and some of the organisation for tender boats was disorganised. Be aware of the additional service charge which also caught us by surprise when we were billed €70 per person at the end of the cruise.

Sailed on the Seaview out of Barcelona 5th October with preferential embarkation which was very efficient doing various ports in France Italy & Malta.The ship was brand new and super clean.We had a suite for 3 right at the back of deck 12 and it was extemely comfortable quiet with great views from the balcony.The food was of a very high standard although the breakfast in the buffet was slightly fraught in the morning so next time we would use the MDR where feshly poached egg and toast were freely avaiable.We had access to the Aurea Deck and Spa and used those facilities every day which were first class including sauna steam room cold room and Jacuzzi.A free massage was also included and was very relaxing. Some reviews have mentioned noisy passengers but this can be evident on any cruise ship no matter what the nationality involved and actually a bit of atmosphere is never a bad thing in a large restaurant.Entertainment was aimed at a mainly European audience but was enjoyable nevertheless We would definitely sail with Msc again and found them great value for money with the all inclusive being a proper deal with branded spirits unlike othercruise lines where drinks are really not as they are promoted.Staff could not have been more helpful although there was little attention paid to hand sanitation when entering the restaurants. We look forward to our next voyage with them.

I enjoyed a wonderful cruise on one of MSC largest ships yet it didn't feel crowded. I was made very welcomed by Captain Marco Massa. the restaurant food was a good Italian standard with different choices each day. the staff were very attentive and most willing to please. the trips were well planned and i had the benefit of visiting somewhere I've never been to before despite my 80 years of age. I've been with MSC 5 times and enjoy the whole ambiance of their style. As always the evening entertainment was first class and full of energy

We were somewhat disappointed with our cruise, because, unless you were fit and able bodied there was very little to do apart from Bingo during the day. There were few if any cultural events, concerts, talks or activities on board. On all our previous cruises there were things to do like art classes, a choir, talks on this and that and other items to keep us older passengers amused when we didn't want to sit in the sun any longer. We were also disappointed with our City Tour of Barcelona billed as suitable for the disabled. However, 2 out of the 3 stops and visits were not available to us as we did not have enough time or the ability to walk to the site and we were either stuck on the coach or dropped at a venue where there was nothing to do. The cabin and food were excellent.

I was so looking forward to cruising on a larger ship. I am a seasoned cruiser so know what to expect. The Seaview is a beautiful ship, the crew were helpful, the food was very good although the choice a bit limited for dinner. The shows were excellent,we enjoyed them all. On the negative side, it was far too noisy, so many children, very noisy adults, mostly Italians. The noise from the next table was so bad at dinner the staff apologized to my husband and I, they had three pushchairs and noisy children and adults all walking about. The music and noise in the bars was deafening,no where to have a quiet drink or relax. Every English speaking person we spoke to said they would not go on this ship again because of the amount of children and the noise. It caters so much for young families, its a resort ship, not for the over 60's Excellent ship, wonderful for families just not for us. Audrey Smith

Avoid the cabins/suites on deck 9 near the back of the ship, very loud music from 12 - 2.30 am will keep you awake. Despite complaining almost every night all we were offered was a free bottle of fizz each morning after the night before. The ship itself was excellent and if we had been sleeping anywhere else it would have scored 6.
10 Sep 2018
This was our first cruise and found the ship far too big, with far too many people and children onboard. The ship was lovely and the staff fantastic. The food was disappointing but likely due to far too many people needing fed at the same time
