Balearic Drift – Ibiza & Palermo

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 3 nights. This sailing from Barcelona on July 13, 2026 visits Ibiza and Palermo and makes every day count. The sailing ends in Palermo. With 1 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. People come back from this cruise talking about Palermo: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. 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. 2 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
