Sun-Drenched Ramparts – Barcelona, Malaga & Cadiz
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 8 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on November 11, 2026, visiting Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Málaga, Cádiz and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The sailing ends in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. People come back from this cruise talking about Barcelona: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. 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. Civitavecchia (Rome) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 6 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
