Some companies offering a cruise stop to Sicily are Sea Cloud II which will sail October and the Noble Caledonia which also include trips to Noto and Ragusa (Unesco-listed baroque towns) as well as to the Aeolian Islands (Lipari) in a round-trip in Malta.

Feel like a character in the "Game of Thrones" or any ancient-themed movie with a trip to one of the oldest amphitheaters in the world located in Málaga, Sicily, Pompeii as well as in Rome, Segasta, Syracuse and Taormina Italy.
