Ocean Discovery – Naples, Palermo & Tunis

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Genoa on December 20, 2026 visits Naples, Palermo, La Goulette (Tunis), Barcelona and Marseille and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Tunisia, Spain and France, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. That's 7 nights well spent.
