Step aboard MSC Splendida and settle into a world of comfort, style, and luxury. Discover outstanding facilities, entertainment, and dining options as you prepare for a week of Mediterranean exploration.

Day 2: Sunday, 5th October 2026 – Marseille, France

France’s oldest city, Marseille, is a vibrant gateway to the sun-drenched region of Provence. As you approach, you’ll see the city’s dramatic coastline, where striking limestone cliffs meet the sparkling Mediterranean. The heart of Marseille is the bustling Le Vieux-Port, a historic harbour lined with colourful wooden boats and lively cafes—perfect for people-watching and soaking up the Provençal atmosphere.

Stroll through the winding streets of Le Panier, the city’s oldest quarter, where pastel-hued facades, artisan shops, and bold street art create a charmingly eclectic vibe. For panoramic views, make your way to the hilltop Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, an iconic symbol of Marseille.

Venture further afield to discover the stunning Calanques National Park, a series of dramatic fjord-like inlets ideal for hiking or boat trips. Or, take an excursion to the legendary Château d’If, the island fortress immortalised in “The Count of Monte Cristo.” If you crave more of Provence, picturesque Aix-en-Provence and the historic city of Avignon are within easy reach—each offering their own blend of culture, history, and irresistible French cuisine.

Whether you’re exploring ancient landmarks or sampling bouillabaisse at a seaside bistro, Marseille is a feast for the senses.

Day 3: Monday, 6th October 2026 – Livorno (for Florence & Pisa), Italy

Your gateway to the treasures of Tuscany, Livorno is a cosmopolitan port city known for its Renaissance-era fortifications, grand canals, and vibrant seafront promenade. Begin your day by wandering through the Mercato Centrale, where the aromas of fresh seafood, cheeses, and Tuscan delicacies fill the air.

Livorno is the perfect starting point for excursions to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Marvel at world-famous masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery, gaze up at Brunelleschi’s magnificent Duomo, and stroll across the historic Ponte Vecchio. Alternatively, head to Pisa to see the iconic Leaning Tower and discover the city’s medieval piazzas and Romanesque architecture.

For those who prefer a slower pace, the Tuscan countryside beckons with its rolling vineyards and olive groves. Or, stay in Livorno to enjoy its elegant Terrazza Mascagni, a checkerboard promenade overlooking the Ligurian Sea, and sample the city’s famous cacciucco—a rich seafood stew.

No matter which direction you choose, this region offers a perfect blend of art, history, and culinary delights.

Day 4: Tuesday, 7th October 2026 – Cagliari, Sardinia

Cagliari, the lively capital of Sardinia, is a city where history and natural beauty blend seamlessly. Perched on seven hills, Cagliari’s medieval Castello district offers breathtaking views over the Gulf of Angels. Wander its narrow, cobblestone streets to discover centuries-old bastions, grand piazzas, and the impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria.

History buffs will be captivated by the city’s archaeological treasures, including the ancient Roman amphitheatre and the National Archaeological Museum, which houses artefacts from Sardinia’s mysterious Nuragic civilisation.

Beyond the city, Sardinia’s spectacular coastline awaits. Relax on Poetto Beach’s powdery sands or take a short drive to discover hidden coves and turquoise waters.
 
Inland, the island’s rugged landscapes are dotted with nuraghi—prehistoric stone towers unique to Sardinia.
Cagliari is also renowned for its vibrant food scene, where you can sample local specialities such as malloreddus pasta, fresh seafood, and the island’s famous pecorino cheese—best enjoyed with a glass of Cannonau wine.

Day 5: Wednesday, 8th October 2026 – Palermo, Sicily

Palermo, the capital of Sicily, is a captivating blend of cultures, flavours, and architectural wonders. The city’s rich history is reflected in its dazzling mosaics, Arab-Norman palaces, and bustling street markets.

Start your exploration at the magnificent Palermo Cathedral, then wander through the Quattro Canti, a Baroque crossroads framed by ornate facades. The Palatine Chapel, with its glittering Byzantine mosaics, is a must-see for art lovers.

Palermo’s vibrant markets—such as Ballarò and Vucciria—are a sensory overload, filled with the aromas of fresh produce, spices, and sizzling street food. Indulge in local favourites like arancini, panelle, and cannoli.

For those seeking adventure beyond the city, excursions to the ancient ruins of Segesta or the medieval hilltop town of Erice offer a glimpse into Sicily’s storied past.
Round out your visit with a stroll along Mondello Beach, where golden sands and crystal-clear waters provide the perfect Sicilian escape.

Day 6: Thursday, 9th October 2026 – Valletta, Malta

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Valletta is one of Europe’s most captivating capitals. Built by the Knights of St John in the 16th century, this fortified city is a treasure trove of history, art, and culture.

Stroll through narrow streets lined with honey-coloured limestone buildings, ornate balconies, and baroque churches. The imposing Grand Harbour, best viewed from the Upper Barracca Gardens, offers unforgettable vistas of the city’s ramparts and the sparkling Mediterranean beyond.

Valletta is home to more than 300 historic monuments, including St John’s Co-Cathedral, famed for its lavish interior and Caravaggio masterpieces. Explore the city’s museums, palaces, and charming squares, or relax at a waterfront café along the bustling promenade.

Beyond the city walls, Malta’s beautiful beaches, secluded coves, and vibrant nightlife await. Whether you’re a history buff, foodie, or sun-seeker, Valletta promises an unforgettable experience.

Day 7: Friday, 10th October 2026 – Day at Sea

Enjoy a full day at sea as MSC Splendida glides across the sparkling Mediterranean, offering you the perfect opportunity to relax, indulge, and make the most of everything this magnificent ship has to offer.
 
Start your morning with a leisurely breakfast overlooking the ocean, followed by a stroll on the open decks to soak up the fresh sea air. Whether you prefer to unwind by one of the outdoor pools or find a quiet spot in the adults-only solarium, there’s a place for everyone to enjoy the rhythm of life at sea.
 
For those seeking a little pampering, the luxurious MSC Aurea Spa awaits with soothing massages, revitalising facials, and thermal experiences designed to leave you feeling refreshed. Fitness enthusiasts can join a class or work out in the state-of-the-art gym, while those looking for lighter activity might enjoy a yoga session or a game of mini-golf.
 
When it’s time to dine, choose from an array of gourmet restaurants and casual eateries serving exquisite international cuisine. Savour a long, leisurely lunch or treat yourself to afternoon tea with ocean views.
 
As evening falls, the ship comes alive with dazzling shows in the theatre, lively bars, and the excitement of the casino. Sip a cocktail under the stars or simply relax on deck as you reflect on the unforgettable destinations you’ve explored and the memories you’re creating on board.
 
A day at sea aboard MSC Splendida is your chance to truly unwind, recharge, and experience the very best of cruising before your journey returns to Barcelona.
