Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Ibiza & Palermo
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Marseille on September 13, 2026 visits 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. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Civitavecchia (Rome), The Eternal City is just an hour away. 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. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
