Trip Idea: 3-Night Spain Cruise

Travelers: 2 adults, 0 children

Enjoy a 3-night cruise in Spain aboard the modern and elegant MSC Seaview. This short getaway is perfect for couples looking for a mix of relaxation and exploration. On board, you can indulge in international cuisine, panoramic sea views, evening shows, and a variety of bars and lounges. Depending on the itinerary, you’ll have the chance to visit charming Spanish ports, stroll through historic city centers, sample local tapas, and experience the Mediterranean lifestyle in a compact, easy-to-manage trip.

As your travel agent, I recommend preparing for your cruise with a mix of practical guides and inspirational reading. For general planning and port information, consider:

• “Rick Steves Spain” – Excellent for cultural context, walking routes, and practical tips in major Spanish cities and port towns.
• Lonely Planet “Spain” – A comprehensive overview with maps, neighborhood suggestions, and useful phrases; ideal if you want to explore on your own during port calls.
• “Fodor’s Essential Spain” – Good for curated recommendations, restaurant tips, and must-see highlights tailored to shorter stays.

Because you’ll be sailing with MSC, you might also find these helpful:

• MSC Cruises Official App & Website – For deck plans, daily schedules, excursion details, spa and dining reservations, and onboard dress codes.
• “Cruise Confidential” by Brian David Bruns – A light, entertaining read that gives you an insider’s perspective on life at sea, perfect for getting into the cruising mood (not Spain-specific, but very fun on board).

If you’re interested in the cultural side of Spain before your cruise:

• “Ghosts of Spain” by Giles Tremlett – Offers insight into modern Spanish history and society, giving more depth to the cities you’ll visit.
• “The New Spaniards” by John Hooper – A clear overview of contemporary Spain: regional differences, customs, and lifestyle.

With these guides and books, you’ll be well prepared to enjoy your time on the MSC Seaview and make the most of each stop in Spain, from local food and traditions to key sights within walking distance of the port.
