Costa Toscana: 7-Night Cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome) - December 25, 2026

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Savona (Genoa), Italy, from 8:30 AM to 5:30 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.

The Costa Toscana carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Marseille, France. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. The Old Port is the heart of Marseille, where fishing boats and yachts mingle.

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. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Wandering through the older districts reveals narrow streets, hidden squares, and centuries of stories.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Palma de Mallorca, Spain, from 7:30 AM to 5:00 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. Many visitors choose independent exploration due to the compact layout and walkability of central areas.

The Costa Toscana carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Palermo Cathedral is a magnificent blend of architectural styles, including Norman, Gothic, and Baroque elements.

Your cruise ends in Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy, where the Costa Toscana is scheduled to dock at 8:30 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. Rome is the main draw, and many visitors focus on a handful of must see areas.
