7 Night Cruise from Palermo

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Palermo on July 23, 2026 visits Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona and Ibiza. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Barcelona alone is worth the trip, Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. 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. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
