Ocean Discovery – Cagliari, Palermo & Civitavecchia (Rome)
About this cruise
A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Cagliari on November 4, 2026 visits Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille and Barcelona and makes every day count. You wind up in Barcelona, so it's worth planning a night or two there. No sea days at all on this one. 5 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Barcelona stands out. It's 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 in all, it's a solid trip.
