Mediterranean Magic – Palermo, Valletta & Barcelona

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Cagliari on August 12, 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to France. Marseille alone is worth the trip, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
