Costa Favolosa: 17-Night from Hamburg - November 8, 2026

You'll have 12 hours hours to explore Ijmuiden, Netherlands, from 7:00 AM to 6:30 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. The historic center is compact and walkable, with a charming main square, boutique shopping, and inviting restaurants.

The Costa Favolosa carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Dover (London), England. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Perched high above the harbor, Dover Castle is one of the most important fortresses in England.

Your ship arrives in Le Havre (Paris), France at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Explore the post-war city center designed by Auguste Perret with straight streets, concrete buildings, and striking architectural details.

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Lisbon, Portugal, 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. Wear comfortable walking shoes for hilly streets and cobblestones.

Arriving in Cadiz (Seville), Spain at 1:00 PM with only 6 hours hours before your 7:00 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. Cadiz's historic center is compact and ideal for wandering.

The Costa Favolosa 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 Fort-de-France, Martinique, where the Costa Favolosa 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. French Caribbean culture shows up everywhere, from language and food to architecture and music.
