14 Night Cruise from Genoa

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Genoa on May 16, 2027 through Civitavecchia (Rome), Messina and Piraeus (Athens), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 5 countries, from Italy to France. People come back from this cruise talking about Ibiza: White-island energy from sunset to sunrise. 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. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 10 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
