23 days, one-way from Fort-de-France to Marseille

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 23 nights from Fort-de-France on February 25, 2027, visiting Pointe-à-Pitre, Basseterre and Tortola, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You wind up in Marseille, so it's worth planning a night or two there. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 9 countries along the Caribbean coast: Guadeloupe, St. Kitts & Nevis, British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda, Spain, Morocco and France. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Favolosa: 3,016 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
