10 Night Cruise from Marseille
About this cruise
There's a reason 10-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Marseille on October 1, 2027 and visits Genoa, Barcelona and Alicante, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Italy to United Kingdom. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Diadema holds 3,724 guests across 14 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. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 10-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
