14 Night Cruise from Venice

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from May 22, 2027. This one's 14 nights from Venice, and the route visits Bari, Corfu and Kefalonia, 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. Crossing 4 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Venice has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
