5 Night Cruise from Genoa

About this cruise

Sometimes you just need a few days out of your routine. This one sails from Genoa on November 7, 2026, spends 5 nights visiting Marseille, Barcelona and Civitavecchia (Rome), and gets you back before anyone really notices you were gone. You're in port almost every day, so pack shoes you can actually walk in. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Spain and Italy. People come back from this cruise talking about Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Smeralda carries up to 5,224 guests over 20 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Genoa itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 3 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
