Valencia is third biggest city in Spain and although it boasts many great historic, cultural and modern visitor attractions, Valencia is one of the least touristic cities in the whole of the Iberian Peninsula.

Although the outskirts of Valencia are modern and industrialised, the historic heart is very beautiful and typically Spanish, almost untouched by mass tourism.

Valencia is the home of the rice dish paella, one of the most spectacular fiestas in Spain and (reputedly) the Holy Grail from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper. We are sure you'll be pleasantly surprised by Valencia and the warm, inviting character of its inhabitants.

Leave your MSC cruise ship in the modern harbor and be prepared for a great day off the ship. With a diverse selection of excursions in and around Valencia and the best deals around, all guests will find something to suit not only their taste, but their vacation pace, too!

Enjoy a relaxing, guided Valencia coach tour and take in the sights at your leisure. Head further afield to the caves of San Jose and a short boat tour. In the mood for pure relaxation?

Then join us on the beach trip where you can kick back, swim and soak up the Spanish sun. Families can give their kids a treat at the stunning Oceanographic Center, sure to be a high point of their vacation and a fun day out for adults, too.
