Mediterranean Magic – Riviera, Sicily & Malta

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Marseille on August 31, 2026. The route visits Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari, Palermo, Valletta and Barcelona 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 route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Malta and Spain. 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 has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
