Ocean Discovery – Savona, Marseille & Barcelona

About this cruise

A 17-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Genoa on November 15, 2027 and visits Marseille, Barcelona and Gibraltar, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Pointe-à-Pitre. With 8 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. Crossing 6 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, Spain, United Kingdom, Sint Maarten, Martinique and Guadeloupe. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Fort-de-France: French flair in the heart of the Antilles. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 9 ports, 6 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
