10 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Barcelona

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Barcelona on November 6, 2026 visits Gibraltar, Tangier and Casablanca, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: United Kingdom, Morocco, Spain, France and Italy. People come back from this cruise talking about Savona: Medieval towers on the Ligurian Riviera. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 113,321 gross tons, Costa Fascinosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 7 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
