Sun-Bleached Stone – Mallorca, Sicily & Rome

About this cruise

This one leaves Barcelona on November 22, 2026 and spends 8 nights visiting Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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: Spain, Italy and France. 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 Toscana: 5,322 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
