Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Marseille & Savona

About this cruise

A 11-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 Valencia on January 19, 2027 and visits Barcelona, Marseille and Genoa, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 5 countries, from Spain to Morocco. Of the stops, Palermo tends to be the one people talk about: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,500 gross tons, Costa Pacifica is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
