10 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Savona

About this cruise

There's a reason 10-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Savona on November 15, 2026 and visits Barcelona, Gibraltar, Lisbon, Cádiz, Málaga and Marseille. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Spain to France. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Fascinosa holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 10 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
