Mediterranean Gems – Marseille & Valletta

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Barcelona on May 17, 2026. The route visits Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari, Palermo and Valletta and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from France to Malta. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
