Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Marseille & Savona
About this cruise
You sail from Barcelona on March 31, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina, Heraklion and Piraeus (Athens). It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You wind up in Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth planning a night or two there. 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. 3 countries (France, Italy and Greece) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Pacifica: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
