Mediterranean Escape – Valletta & Palermo

About this cruise

Some of the best trips are the ones you barely had to plan. 3 nights from Livorno (Florence/Pisa) on April 27, 2026, visiting Cagliari, Palermo and Valletta, and you're home before the laundry piles up. The sailing ends in Valletta. 3 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. People come back from this cruise talking about Palermo: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. MSC Splendida takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 3 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
