14 Night Cruise from Venice

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from May 29, 2027. This one's 14 nights from Venice, and the route visits Bari, Santorini and Mykonos, 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 Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece, Croatia and Montenegro, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
