11 Night Cruise from Genoa

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 11 nights from Genoa on September 27, 2026, visiting Barcelona, Cádiz and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 4 countries (Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Diadema: 3,724 guests, 14 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
