Terracotta & Tides – Marseille, Barcelona & Rome

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Genoa on July 10, 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. 3 countries (France, Spain and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Marseille, which is known as France's oldest city, salty and soulful. 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
