7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from La Seyne sur Mer St. Tropez

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Toulon on July 20, 2026, visiting Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Olbia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Savona. 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. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. 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. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
