Mediterranean Magic – Barcelona & Tunis

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Naples on September 26, 2026 visits Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Marseille, Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis) 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 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, France, Spain and Tunisia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Palermo, which is known as Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Meraviglia takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 3 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 September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
