Mediterranean Gems – Palermo, Tunis & Barcelona

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Palermo on March 25, 2026 visits La Goulette (Tunis), Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa and Naples. 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 (Tunisia, Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Marseille alone is worth the trip, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
