Cobblestone & Clay – Barcelona, Naples & Genoa

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 10, 2026 visits Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Cagliari and Naples. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Cagliari, Sardinia's sun-bleached capital of flamingos and fortresses. Around 9 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. Civitavecchia (Rome) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
