7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Civitavecchia Rome

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 3, 2026 visits Savona, Marseille, Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis) and Palermo 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, France, Spain and Tunisia, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,500 gross tons, Costa Pacifica 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. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 7 nights well spent.
