7 Night Cruise from Palermo

About this cruise

You board in Palermo on July 16, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona and Ibiza, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to Spain. People come back from this cruise talking about Barcelona: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 185,010 gross tons, Costa Smeralda is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
