Saffron & Saltwater – Tangier, Barcelona & Marseille

About this cruise

Book 5 days off from April 3, 2027 and this cruise from Santa Cruz de Tenerife will do the rest, taking you to Tangier, Barcelona and Marseille and back. The sailing ends in Marseille. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Morocco to France. People come back from this cruise talking about Barcelona: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. 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. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 3 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
