Ocean Discovery – Savona, Naples & Palermo
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Marseille on January 1, 2028, visiting Genoa, Naples, Palermo, La Goulette (Tunis) and Barcelona. 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 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, Tunisia and Spain. 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. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
