Mediterranean Grand Tour – Barcelona & Santorini

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Valletta on April 30, 2026 and visits Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari and Palermo. 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: 3 countries, from Spain to 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
