Mediterranean Marvels – Sardinia, Sicily & Malta

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 June 16, 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. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Malta, Spain and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Palermo, which is known as Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Splendida takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 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 June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
