7 Night Cruise from Barcelona

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on October 5, 2026 and visits Ibiza, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to France. 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. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Barcelona and come back with stories from Spain, Italy and France.
