Mediterranean Marvels – Barcelona & Palermo

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Marseille on August 3, 2026. The route visits Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis), Palermo, Naples and Livorno (Florence/Pisa) 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: Spain, Tunisia and Italy. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 9 restaurants on MSC Meraviglia, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. 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.
