18 Night Cruise from Marseille

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 18 nights from Marseille on November 13, 2027, visiting Barcelona, Gibraltar and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Rio de Janeiro, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Marseille, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, United Kingdom, Portugal, Cape Verde and Brazil. Lisbon stands out. It's Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Favolosa carries up to 3,016 guests over 13 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. Marseille itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
