MSC Meraviglia: 14-Night Cruise from Southampton - July 24, 2027

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Gijon, Spain, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Bring layers and a light waterproof jacket, as northern Spain can be breezy.

The MSC Meraviglia carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Cadiz (Seville), Spain. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Cadiz's historic center is compact and ideal for wandering.

Your ship arrives in Malaga, Spain at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. This Moorish citadel offers panoramic views over Malaga and the harbor.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Alicante, Spain, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Wandering these streets reveals flower filled balconies and glimpses of traditional life, offering a peaceful contrast to the busier waterfront.

The MSC Meraviglia carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Ibiza, Spain. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Ibiza Town blends everyday island life with history and style.

Your ship arrives in Tarragona, Spain at 9:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Discover Tarragona's Roman past at the Amphitheatre, the Forum, and the ancient walls.

With 12 hours hours in Casablanca, Morocco - from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Cruise ships dock at the port of Casablanca, located close to the city center.

The MSC Meraviglia carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in La Coruna, Spain. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. La Coruna is famous for having one of Europe's longest seaside promenades.

Your cruise ends in Southampton, England, where the MSC Meraviglia is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Step back in time at the Tudor House Museum, a beautifully preserved historic home showcasing centuries of Southampton's domestic and social history, including exhibitions on trade and local life.
