Mediterranean Gems – Palermo & Valletta
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Cagliari on October 28, 2026 and visits Palermo, Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille and Livorno (Florence/Pisa). 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: 4 countries, from Italy to France. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
