11 Night Cruise from Genoa

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 11 nights from Genoa on September 27, 2026, visiting Barcelona, Cádiz 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom and France, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. 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. 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. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 7 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
