Cobblestone Sprint – Rome, Savona & Marseille

About this cruise

Some of the best trips are the ones you barely had to plan. 3 nights from Palermo on July 9, 2026, visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille, and you're home before the laundry piles up. You finish in Marseille. 3 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Civitavecchia (Rome) alone is worth the trip, The Eternal City is just an hour away. Roughly 10 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. Palermo itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
