Sunken Amphitheatres – Rome, Barcelona & Cagliari
About this cruise
This one leaves Marseille on May 1, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa 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. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. Most ports give you about 10 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Marseille has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
