Ocean Discovery – Fort de France, Pointe A Pitre & Basseterre

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from March 4, 2027. This one's 16 nights from Fort-de-France, and the route visits Pointe-à-Pitre, Basseterre and St. John's, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The trip wraps in Marseille, so you won't retrace your steps. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 6 countries (Guadeloupe, St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, Spain, Morocco and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Favolosa holds 3,016 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 16-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
