12 Night Cruise from Kiel

About this cruise

12 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Kiel on September 11, 2026 and the route takes you through Copenhagen, Kristiansand and Le Havre (Paris), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. Disembarkation is in Genoa. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 5 countries, from Denmark to Italy. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Barcelona, Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 132,500 gross tons, Costa Diadema is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
