Vibrant Voyages – Sicily & Barcelona
About this cruise
7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Palermo on October 29, 2026 visits Valletta, Barcelona, Marseille, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) and Cagliari and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 4 countries (Malta, Spain, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
