Breathtaking Beauty – Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Palermo on June 25, 2026, visiting Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Cagliari. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Malta to Italy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
