Ocean Discovery – Naples, Palermo & Tunis

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 11 nights from Genoa on January 22, 2027, visiting Naples, Palermo and La Goulette (Tunis), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain and France, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Pacifica holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 11-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
