Costa Fascinosa: 13-Night from Marseille - December 4, 2026

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Savona (Genoa), Italy, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Savona's historic center is compact and inviting, filled with narrow streets, small squares, and historic buildings.

Arriving in Barcelona, Spain at 2:00 PM with only 6 hours hours before your 8:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Wandering through the older districts reveals narrow streets, hidden squares, and centuries of stories.

The Costa Fascinosa carries 3,500+ passengers, and with only 7 hours hours in Malaga, Spain, everyone's competing for the same narrow window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the most reliable way to bypass the bottleneck - you'll get priority disembarkation and a guaranteed return before the ship leaves. This Moorish citadel offers panoramic views over Malaga and the harbor.

The Costa Fascinosa carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Vegueta is the historic heart of Las Palmas, with narrow streets, colorful buildings, and key landmarks like the Cathedral of Santa Ana.

Your cruise ends in Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe, where the Costa Fascinosa is scheduled to dock at 9:00 AM. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. History lovers will appreciate colonial architecture, museums, and monuments telling the story of Guadeloupe.
