Sun-Drenched Stones – Barcelona, Rome & Genoa

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Marseille on July 25, 2026 visits Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. Genoa alone is worth the trip, Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Around 10 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
