Mediterranean Magic – Palermo, Valletta & Barcelona

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Cagliari on August 5, 2026 visits Palermo, Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille and Livorno (Florence/Pisa). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Italy, Malta, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Marseille, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
