7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Barcelona

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Barcelona on September 14, 2026 visits Ibiza, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Savona and Marseille 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Italy and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, Ibiza tends to be the one people talk about: White-island energy from sunset to sunrise. Around 9 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
