10 Night Cruise from Genoa

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night round-trip sailing from Genoa on October 2, 2027 visits Barcelona, Alicante and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Cádiz: Europe's oldest city, still dancing flamenco. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Diadema carries up to 3,724 guests over 14 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. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 7 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
