Sunlit Flagstones – Palermo, Rome & Marseille

About this cruise

You board in Palma de Mallorca on December 1, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Palermo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille and Barcelona, 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. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Italy to Spain. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Around 9 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. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
