Ocean Discovery – Naples, Palermo & Tunis

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 12-night sailing from Genoa on February 2, 2027 visits Naples, Palermo and La Goulette (Tunis), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain and France. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Pacifica: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You start in Genoa and come back with stories from Italy, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain and France.
