7 Night Cruise from Barcelona
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Barcelona on March 29, 2027, visiting Palma de Mallorca, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Italy and France. 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 Toscana: 5,322 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
