Sun-Drenched Flagstones – Barcelona, Cagliari & Rome

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Marseille on October 10, 2026 visits Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. People come back from this cruise talking about Civitavecchia (Rome): The Eternal City is just an hour away. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Toscana carries up to 5,322 guests over 20 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Marseille itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
