Costa Smeralda: 10-Night from Savona (Genoa) - November 12, 2026

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Marseille, France, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Stroll along the waterfront, enjoy fresh seafood at local cafes, and watch daily life unfold in this historic setting.

The Costa Smeralda carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Barcelona, Spain. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Wandering through the older districts reveals narrow streets, hidden squares, and centuries of stories.

Your ship arrives in Malaga, Spain at 8:00 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. This Moorish citadel offers panoramic views over Malaga and the harbor.

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Cadiz (Seville), Spain, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 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. History is layered into daily life, from ancient watchtowers to baroque cathedrals.

The Costa Smeralda 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 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, where the Costa Smeralda is scheduled to dock at 8:00 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. The balance of cultural experiences, coastal charm, and culinary delights makes Santa Cruz a captivating stop on any Canary Islands cruise.
