7 Night Cruise from Barcelona
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Barcelona on September 21, 2026 visits Marseille, Genoa and Palma de Mallorca. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy and Spain. Marseille stands out. It's France's oldest city, salty and soulful. 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. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
