Ocean Discovery – Savona, Barcelona & Alicante

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 10 nights from Marseille on October 11, 2027, visiting Genoa, Barcelona and Alicante, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Morocco, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Genoa, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Diadema carries up to 3,724 guests over 14 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Marseille before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
