22 Night Cruise from Marseille
About this cruise
The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 22 nights from Marseille on November 1, 2026, visiting Genoa, Barcelona and Málaga, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Santos, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. With 12 port days and 10 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Cape Verde and Brazil. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 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. 22 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. 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. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 22 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
