Gilded Tyrrhenian Run – Barcelona, Cagliari & Rome

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Marseille on July 18, 2026 visits Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Keep an eye out for Genoa: Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. 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 timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
