Sunlit Flagstones – Cagliari, Naples & Genoa

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on July 19, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa and Marseille, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. People come back from this cruise talking about Naples: Chaos, pizza, and passion beneath Vesuvius. 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. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
