11 days, one-way from Marseille to Piraeus-Athens

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 11 nights from Marseille on May 29, 2027, visiting Savona, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Naples, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Piraeus (Athens), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. 11 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. 3 countries (Italy, Malta and Greece) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Kefalonia, which is known as Captain Corelli's turquoise paradise. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Serena carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 11 ports across 11 nights covers a lot.
