About This Cruise
The 6 Night Western Mediterranean from Malaga is a 6-night one-way itinerary aboard Costa Diadema. You board in Malaga and disembark in Barcelona, calling at 5 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Malaga, Cartagena), France (Marseille), Italy (Savona) and Spain (Barcelona).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Malaga and home from Barcelona, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
