Mediterranean Magic – Mallorca & Malta

About this cruise

By May 2, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 8 nights out of Barcelona, visiting Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari, Palermo and Valletta, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. 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 route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, France, Italy and Malta. You get around 8 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 has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 8-night sailing is a strong place to start.
