12 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Savona

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from May 4, 2027 and let this sailing from Savona do its thing. The route covers Barcelona, Alicante and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Spain, Portugal, Morocco and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Málaga, Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Roughly 8 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. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
