7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Barcelona

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Barcelona on September 19, 2027 visits Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. Keep an eye out for 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. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 7 nights well spent.
