Ocean Discovery – Ibiza, Palermo & Civitavecchia (Rome)
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on September 14, 2026 and visits Ibiza, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Italy and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Smeralda holds 5,224 guests across 20 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Barcelona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
