Sun-Bleached Stone – Genoa, Marseille & Palma
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on November 27, 2026 visits Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Palermo. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Palma de Mallorca alone is worth the trip, A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 185,010 gross tons, Costa Toscana is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
