Sun-Drenched Stones – Barcelona, Rome & Palermo
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 8 nights from Marseille on November 21, 2026, visiting Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Toscana: 5,322 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
