Ocean Discovery – Marseille, Savona & Naples

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Barcelona on November 26, 2027 through Marseille, Genoa and Naples, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy, Tunisia, Morocco and Spain. Of the stops, Tangier tends to be the one people talk about: Where Africa and Europe lock eyes across the strait. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,500 gross tons, Costa Pacifica 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. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
