98 days, one-way from San Francisco to Marseille

About this cruise

A 98-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves San Francisco on January 3, 2027 and visits Honolulu, Hilo and Papeete, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand. The sailing ends in Marseille. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 33 port calls start. Crossing 22 borders through the Australia & New Zealand: United States, French Polynesia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, South Africa, Namibia, Cape Verde, Spain and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Pulau Penang Island: Street art, street food, and George Town's soul. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 2,260 guests, Costa Deliziosa has pools, shows, and a solid range of restaurants. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 33 ports, 22 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
