14 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Marseilles

About this cruise

14 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Marseille on May 15, 2027 and the route takes you through Savona, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Messina, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Greece, Malta and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Civitavecchia (Rome), The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
