14 Night Cruise from Venice

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Venice on May 22, 2027 through Bari, Corfu and Kefalonia, with additional stops along the Eastern 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. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Corfu stands out. It's Venetian elegance in an emerald setting. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Costa Deliziosa carries 2,260 guests across 12 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. 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. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Venice before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
