Sun-Drenched Sprints – Marseille & Genoa

About this cruise

You leave Barcelona on April 7, 2027 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Marseille and Genoa. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. 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. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 4-night sailing is a strong place to start.
