7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Palermo

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Palermo on September 10, 2026. The route visits Civitavecchia (Rome), Savona, Marseille, Barcelona and Ibiza 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. You get around 10 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 September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
