Costa Toscana: 7-Night from Barcelona - July 26, 2026

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, from 7:00 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. The city's layered history shows up in Roman ruins, medieval towers, and wide Spanish style streets, all woven into daily life.

The Costa Toscana carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Naples, Italy. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. A short drive from Naples, these ancient Roman towns offer a fascinating glimpse into history preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Arriving in Capri, Italy at 8:00 PM with only 1 hours hours before your 9:00 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. The funicular connects Marina Grande with Capri town and is part transport, part experience.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy, from 8:30 AM to 7:00 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. Rome is the main draw, and many visitors focus on a handful of must see areas.

The Costa Toscana carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Genoa, Italy. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Genoa's historic center is one of the largest medieval old towns in Europe.

Your ship arrives in Marseille, France 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. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Cruise ships dock at Marseille's port near the city center, making exploration on foot easy.

Your cruise ends in Barcelona, Spain, where the Costa Toscana 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. Wandering through the older districts reveals narrow streets, hidden squares, and centuries of stories.
