Creator's Key Takeaways

We enjoyed the sun on our balcony for a while.

We really enjoyed the biosphere. It's not a major tourist destination, but it's interesting and doesn't cost a lot to do or take up much time.

It was a very nice sail out of the harbor.

We've done yacht club afternoon tea before on MSE Virtuosa where it's fully table service and we were expecting similar here, but it's laid out buffet style to help yourselves, which to be honest, we were fine with and got some tasty little sandwiches and sweet options to enjoy with our champagne early evening.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Visit the biosphere for an interesting and affordable excursion.
โœ“Enjoy the yacht club afternoon tea, even if it's buffet style.
โœ“Watch the sail away from your balcony for a great view.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We visit Genoa onboard MSC Splendida, where we're staying in Yacht Club. We take a walk around the harbourfront, and decide to visit the Biosphere (Biosfera), and enjoy some time looking at the diverse birds, fish, and plantlife within. We take a walk down to a good viewpoint to get some pictures of the Splendida, then head back, where we have lunch in the YC restaurant, soak up some sun, enjoy Yacht Club afternoon tea, then watch a really nice evening sail out from Genoa into the Mediterranean.
