Mediterranean Magic – Riviera to Malta

About this cruise

This one leaves Marseille on September 21, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari, Palermo, Valletta and Barcelona at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to Spain. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
