Mediterranean Magic – Riviera to Malta

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Marseille on May 11, 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
