Mediterranean Magic – Barcelona & Santorini
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Valletta on September 25, 2026 visits Barcelona, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari and Palermo. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Palermo alone is worth the trip, Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
