Ocean Discovery – Marseille, Barcelona & Gibraltar
About this cruise
The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 22 nights from Marseille on November 16, 2027, visiting Barcelona, Gibraltar and Cádiz, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You wind up in Fort-de-France, 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. Crossing 8 borders through the Caribbean: Spain, United Kingdom, Sint Maarten, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Kitts & Nevis, British Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Serena: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. 22 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Marseille has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
