Cobblestone & Caldera – Marseille, Barcelona & Rome

About this cruise

You board in Genoa on September 11, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Marseille, Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples and Civitavecchia (Rome), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (France, Spain and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Marseille alone is worth the trip, France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 185,010 gross tons, Costa Toscana is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
