Sunken Amphitheatres – Marseille, Cagliari & Rome

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Genoa on August 7, 2026 visits Marseille, Barcelona, Cagliari, Naples and Civitavecchia (Rome) and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Spain and Italy. Of the stops, Barcelona tends to be the one people talk about: Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. 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. Genoa itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
