7 Night Cruise from Barcelona
About this cruise
This one leaves Barcelona on November 2, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Cagliari, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Smeralda: 5,224 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
