Step aboard MSC Seaview, a journey where sun-soaked coastlines, historic cities, and timeless Mediterranean charm come together. From the artistic heart of Barcelona to the pastel harbours of Portofino and the iconic skyline of Rome, each stop has been thoughtfully chosen to leave a lasting impression.
Your journey begins in the vibrant city of Barcelona, where creativity and culture are around every corner. Before boarding your ship, take time to admire the iconic Sagrada FamÃlia, explore the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beachside promenade.
Next, sail to Cannes, France, to experience the charm of the French Riviera. Known for its film festival glamour, Cannes also offers a relaxed coastal feel. Wander through its old town, Le Suquet, for hilltop views of the bay, or enjoy a coffee along the promenade as superyachts drift by. There’s no better place to embrace the Riviera lifestyle.
Your next stop is Genoa, a historic port city that blends grand palaces with gritty charm. Dive into its old town, one of Europe’s largest, or set off for the nearby coastal gem of Portofino. With its pastel-coloured buildings and sparkling harbour, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and simply take it all in.
Arrive in La Spezia, the gateway to the Cinque Terre, five cliffside villages tucked into Italy’s rugged Ligurian coast. Expect dramatic sea views, colourful houses, and steep terraced hillsides. Whether you explore by foot, train, or boat, this UNESCO-listed region is a highlight for anyone who loves natural beauty with a splash of Italian charm.
Next, you’ll dock at Civitavecchia, the port that leads to Rome, a city of unforgettable landmarks and stories. From the ancient Colosseum to the grandeur of St Peter’s Basilica, Rome never fails to impress. Take time to savour a gelato by the Trevi Fountain or admire world-famous art in the Vatican Museums.
Next, sail to Palma de Mallorca, a sun-drenched island with a stylish capital. The city’s Gothic cathedral rises above a palm-lined waterfront, while the old town reveals quiet courtyards and cobbled streets. Beyond the city, rolling countryside and hidden coves invite you to explore. It’s the ideal mix of history, nature, and relaxed island life.
Return to Barcelona for one last look before your flight home.
An Antarctic expedition cruise is designed to take you beyond simply seeing the continent from a ship. Small inflatable Zodiac boats are used to explore bays, reach remote landing sites and get closer to the ice, wildlife and landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
