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 August 11, 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. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Malta, Spain and France. Cagliari stands out. It's Sardinia's sun-bleached capital of flamingos and fortresses. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Livorno (Florence/Pisa) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
