Mediterranean Marvels – Barcelona & Palermo

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Marseille on September 7, 2026 visits Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis), Palermo, Naples and Livorno (Florence/Pisa). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Tunisia and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Livorno (Florence/Pisa): Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Meraviglia keeps you well fed. 9 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Marseille before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 7 nights well spent.
