Mediterranean Marvels – Sardinia, Sicily & Malta

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Livorno (Florence/Pisa) on June 9, 2026 visits Cagliari, Palermo, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille. 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 (Italy, Malta, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Palermo alone is worth the trip, Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
