Mediterranean Gems – Naples & Barcelona
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Palermo on August 7, 2026 visits Naples, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Marseille, Barcelona and La Goulette (Tunis). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Italy, France, Spain and Tunisia) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Barcelona stands out. It's Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Meraviglia. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
