7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Savona

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Savona on October 24, 2026 and visits Marseille, Barcelona, Cagliari, Palermo and Civitavecchia (Rome). 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: France, Spain and Italy. 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. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
