Mediterranean Marvels – Marseille, Barcelona & Palermo

About this cruise

By August 23, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Livorno (Florence/Pisa), visiting Marseille, Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis), Palermo and Naples, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Spain, Tunisia and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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, MSC Meraviglia takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Livorno (Florence/Pisa) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
