8 Night Cruise from Genoa

About this cruise

8 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Genoa on November 2, 2026 visits Barcelona, Málaga, Cádiz, Lisbon and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and doesn't try to cram in too much. You finish in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Lisbon alone is worth the trip, Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
