Sun-Drenched Terracotta – Marseille, Barcelona & Rome

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Genoa on July 17, 2026, visiting Marseille, Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples and Civitavecchia (Rome). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in France, Spain and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Cagliari: Sardinia's sun-bleached capital of flamingos and fortresses. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Genoa before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 5 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
