Mediterranean Magic – Barcelona & Santorini
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Valletta on October 23, 2026 and visits Barcelona, 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, France and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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, MSC Splendida keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.

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.
