Mediterranean Gems – Marseille & Valletta
About this cruise
By September 13, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Barcelona, visiting Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari, Palermo and Valletta, 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. 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 September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
