Short Ocean Escape – Savona & Marseille

About this cruise

1 nights from Genoa, visiting Marseille. It sails September 20, 2026 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." You wind up in Marseille, so it's worth planning a night or two there. With 0 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Marseille stands out. It's France's oldest city, salty and soulful. At 113,321 gross tons, Costa Fascinosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
