10 Night Cruise from Marseille

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 Marseille on October 11, 2027 visits Genoa, Barcelona and Alicante, 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Morocco, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Genoa alone is worth the trip, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 8 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. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Marseille before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
