Ocean Discovery – Marseille, Barcelona & Tunis
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Genoa on October 4, 2026 visits Marseille, Barcelona, La Goulette (Tunis), Palermo and Civitavecchia (Rome). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Spain, Tunisia and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, Palermo tends to be the one people talk about: Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Pacifica carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
