Mediterranean Magic – Barcelona & Santorini

About this cruise

This one leaves Valletta on August 28, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Barcelona, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari and Palermo at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 3 countries (Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
