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

About this cruise

Block out 11 nights from September 8, 2027 and let this sailing from Piraeus (Athens) do its thing. The route covers Valletta, Catania and Taranto, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You finish in Savona. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Malta, Italy and France, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Ajaccio alone is worth the trip, Napoleon's birthplace on Corsican shores. Roughly 10 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. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
