Mediterranean Marvels – Marseille, 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 Livorno (Florence/Pisa) on May 31, 2026 visits Marseille, Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis), Palermo and Naples. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Spain, Tunisia and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Marseille, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Meraviglia takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
