10 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Marseilles

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from Marseille on November 14, 2026 visits Savona, Barcelona, Gibraltar, Lisbon, Cádiz and Málaga. In between port days, the 3 sea days are where cruise life actually happens: reading, eating, napping, repeat. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and Portugal. People come back from this cruise talking about Savona: Medieval towers on the Ligurian Riviera. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Fascinosa carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Marseille itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 6 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
