Cobblestone & Canvas – Genoa, Marseille & Barcelona

About this cruise

This one leaves Palermo on December 3, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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 Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, France and Spain, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
