21 Night Cruise from Marseille

About this cruise

A 21-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Marseille on November 1, 2026 and visits Genoa, Barcelona and Málaga, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You finish in Rio de Janeiro. With 10 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. 5 countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Cape Verde and Brazil) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Genoa alone is worth the trip, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. 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. Worth booking. That's the short version.
