Sun-Drenched Basalt – Barcelona, Cagliari & Rome

About this cruise

By September 5, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Marseille, visiting Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Toscana holds 5,322 guests across 20 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Marseille has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
