7 Night Cruise from Genoa

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Genoa on August 1, 2026, visiting Marseille, Barcelona, Ibiza, Palermo and Civitavecchia (Rome). 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 France, Spain and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Marseille tends to be the one people talk about: 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 Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
