Sun-Drenched Terraces – Barcelona & Marseille

About this cruise

You sail from Civitavecchia (Rome) on November 5, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Naples. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, France and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Civitavecchia (Rome) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Civitavecchia (Rome) and come back with stories from Italy, France and Spain.
