Short Ocean Escape – Marseille, Barcelona & Civitavecchia (Rome)
About this cruise
Sometimes you just need a few days out of your routine. This one sails from Marseille on November 23, 2026, spends 4 nights visiting Barcelona, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa, and gets you back before anyone really notices you were gone. You finish in Genoa. 3 days on land versus almost none at sea. This one is for people who want to explore, not float. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Genoa alone is worth the trip, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Pacifica carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
