10 days, one-way from Savona to Piraeus-Athens
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from Savona on May 30, 2027, visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Naples and Cagliari, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Piraeus (Athens). Every single day is a port day. 10 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Malta and Greece. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Serena: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Savona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
