Sun-Drenched Citadels – Rome, Barcelona & Marseille

About this cruise

8 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Palma de Mallorca on November 23, 2026 visits Alicante, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille and Barcelona and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to France. Genoa alone is worth the trip, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. 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.
