Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Palma De Mallorca & La Valletta

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 16 nights from Marseille on September 21, 2026, visiting Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Valletta, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Spain, Malta, Greece and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Fascinosa holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 16 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
