Sun-Drenched Stone – Marseille, Barcelona & Naples
About this cruise
This one leaves Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 2, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Cagliari and Naples at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to Spain. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Smeralda: 5,224 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
