Sun-Drenched Basalt – Barcelona, Cagliari & Rome

About this cruise

You sail from Marseille on September 5, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Most ports give you about 10 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
