Mediterranean Marvels – Sardinia, Sicily & Malta
About this cruise
You board in Livorno (Florence/Pisa) on October 20, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Cagliari, Palermo, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to France. Keep an eye out for Valletta: A fortress city of honey-coloured stone. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 7 nights well spent.
