Mediterranean Magic – Palermo, Valletta & Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Cagliari on July 22, 2026. The route visits Palermo, Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille and Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and the whole thing just flows. 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 Italy, Malta, Spain and France, 4 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. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
