7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Marseilles

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Marseille on July 19, 2026. The route visits Barcelona, Ibiza, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Savona and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Smeralda holds 5,224 guests across 20 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You start in Marseille and come back with stories from Spain and Italy.
