Mediterranean Highlights – Palermo, Tunis & Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Naples on December 8, 2026 visits Palermo, La Goulette (Tunis), Barcelona, Marseille and Genoa and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Tunisia, Spain and France, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Barcelona tends to be the one people talk about: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Euribia (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Naples before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
