Sardinian Dash – Cagliari from Barcelona

About this cruise

Book 2 days off from October 12, 2026 and this cruise from Barcelona will do the rest, taking you to Cagliari and back. Last stop: Cagliari. 1 consecutive sea days. It's the kind of sailing where you properly decompress and lose track of what day it is. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. Of the stops, Cagliari tends to be the one people talk about: Sardinia's sun-bleached capital of flamingos and fortresses. Costa Smeralda carries up to 5,224 guests over 20 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
