Ocean Discovery – Marseille, Savona & Barcelona

About this cruise

A 13-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Marseille on December 4, 2026 and visits Genoa, Barcelona, Málaga, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Pointe-à-Pitre. You get off in Pointe-à-Pitre, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. 3 countries (Italy, Spain and Guadeloupe) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which is known as Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. At 113,321 gross tons, Costa Fascinosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All told, 5 ports across 13 nights covers a lot.
