7 Night Cruise from Palermo
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Palermo on September 24, 2026 visits Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona and Ibiza. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as 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 autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
