Coastal Charms – Sicily & Barcelona

About this cruise

By July 16, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Palermo, visiting Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Cagliari, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Malta, Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
