5 Night Cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome)

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on November 6, 2026 visits Genoa, Marseille and Barcelona and makes every day count. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, France and Spain, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Marseille, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 185,010 gross tons, Costa Smeralda is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
