Mediterranean Magic – Marseille & Palermo

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Barcelona on April 18, 2026 visits Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Palermo and La Goulette (Tunis) and doesn't try to cram in too much. 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 (France, Italy and Tunisia) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Of the stops, La Goulette (Tunis) tends to be the one people talk about: Gateway to Carthage and the Tunis medina. Around 8 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
