Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Ibiza & Palermo
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Marseille on August 30, 2026, visiting Barcelona, Ibiza, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Genoa stands out. It's Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. 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. Marseille itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
