13 days, one-way from Marseille to Pointe-a-Pitre

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 13 nights from Marseille on December 4, 2026, visiting Savona, Barcelona, Málaga, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Pointe-à-Pitre. You wind up in Pointe-à-Pitre, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Spain and Guadeloupe. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. When you're not ashore, Costa Fascinosa holds 3,014 guests across 13 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Marseille has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
