7 Night Cruise from Barcelona

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 Barcelona on August 10, 2026 visits Ibiza, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Italy and France, 3 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. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 7 nights well spent.
