12 days, one-way from Hamburg to Savona

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 12 nights from Hamburg on September 19, 2027, visiting Zeebrugge, Le Havre (Paris) and A Coruña, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Last stop: Savona. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 8 stops with a breather between each one. 4 countries (Belgium, France, Spain and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Favolosa: 3,016 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
