Mediterranean Magic – Marseille & Palermo

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Barcelona on February 21, 2026, visiting Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Palermo and La Goulette (Tunis). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Tunisia. Genoa stands out. It's Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All in all, it's a solid trip.
