14 Night Cruise from Venice

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from August 1, 2026. This one's 14 nights from Venice, and the route visits Bari, Corfu and Zakynthos Island, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Greece and Croatia. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Deliziosa carries 2,260 guests across 12 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
