Mediterranean to South America – Barcelona & Rio

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from November 9, 2026. This one's 24 nights from Marseille, and the route visits Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Cagliari and Palermo, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Last stop: Buenos Aires. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 8 countries, from Italy to Argentina. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
