Mediterranean Magic – Barcelona & Santorini

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Valletta on July 31, 2026, visiting Barcelona, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari and Palermo. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, France and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Palermo stands out. It's Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Splendida takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
