7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Civitavecchia Rome

About this cruise

You sail from Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 3, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Savona, Marseille, Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis) and Palermo. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France, Spain and Tunisia. Most ports give you about 9 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. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
