7 Night Cruise from Palermo
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Palermo on September 10, 2026, visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona and Ibiza. 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. 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.
