Sun-Drenched Bastions – Marseille, Barcelona & Palermo

About this cruise

By November 19, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 8 nights out of Civitavecchia (Rome), visiting Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Alicante and Palermo, 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 route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. You get around 9 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. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Civitavecchia (Rome) and come back with stories from Italy, France and Spain.
