Mediterranean Gems – Sicily, Malta & Barcelona
About this cruise
By August 30, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Naples, visiting Messina, Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille and Genoa, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Italy, Malta, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC World Asia joined the MSC Cruises's lineup in 2026. Still has that new-ship feel. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
