Sun-Drenched Spires – Marseille, Barcelona & Naples
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 9, 2027 visits Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Cagliari and Naples. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 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. Don't rush through Cagliari, which is known as Sardinia's sun-bleached capital of flamingos and fortresses. 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 September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
