7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Civitavecchia Rome
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 12, 2026, visiting Savona, Toulon, Palma de Mallorca, Alicante and Olbia. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Pacifica: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
