Mediterranean Gems – Naples & Barcelona

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Palermo on September 25, 2026 visits Naples, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Marseille, Barcelona and La Goulette (Tunis). A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to Tunisia. People come back from this cruise talking about La Goulette (Tunis): Gateway to Carthage and the Tunis medina. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Meraviglia has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 5 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
