Costa Diadema: 10-Night from Copenhagen - September 12, 2026

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Kristiansand, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

Cruise ships dock centrally in Kristiansand, within walking distance of the main shopping streets, old town, and waterfront.

The Costa Diadema will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Le Havre (Paris), France.

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Malaga, Spain, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

Your ship arrives in Barcelona, Spain at 9:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.

Your cruise ends in Marseille, France, where the Costa Diadema is scheduled to dock at 9:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Stroll along the waterfront, enjoy fresh seafood at local cafes, and watch daily life unfold in this historic setting.
