10 Night Cruise from Genoa

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 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. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Cádiz, which is known as 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 7 ports across 10 nights covers a lot.
