Mediterranean Magic – Riviera to Malta
About this cruise
You sail from Marseille on October 19, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari, Palermo, Valletta and Barcelona. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Malta and 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, MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
