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 9, 2027 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. 4 countries (France, Spain, Tunisia and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through La Goulette (Tunis), which is known as Gateway to Carthage and the Tunis medina. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Virtuosa. 1 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
