7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Civitavecchia Rome

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 Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 25, 2026 visits Savona, Marseille, Barcelona, Ibiza and Palermo. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to Spain. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Marseille, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 9 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. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
