Mediterranean Gems – Palermo, Tunis & Barcelona

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Palermo on April 8, 2026 and visits La Goulette (Tunis), Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa and Naples. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Tunisia, Spain, France and Italy. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
