Mediterranean Gems – Marseille & Valletta

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Barcelona on August 23, 2026, visiting Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari, Palermo and Valletta. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from France to Malta. Marseille alone is worth the trip, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
