Mediterranean Escape – Palermo & Barcelona

About this cruise

5 nights from La Goulette (Tunis), visiting Palermo, Naples, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Marseille and Barcelona. It sails October 15, 2026 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." The sailing ends in Barcelona. No sea days at all on this one. 5 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Meraviglia. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
