14 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from 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. 14 nights from Savona on October 29, 2027, visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina and Izmir, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. That gives you 9 days in port and 4 at sea, enough of each to find a rhythm. 6 countries (Italy, Türkiye, Greece, Tunisia, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 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. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
