7 days, one-way from Toulon to Marseille
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Toulon on September 28, 2026, visiting Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Olbia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Savona and Marseille. You finish in Marseille. 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Italy and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Pacifica: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Toulon 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. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
