14 Night Cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome)

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 Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 17, 2027, visiting Messina, Piraeus (Athens) and Santorini, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 5 countries, from Italy to France. 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 Serena: 3,014 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. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
