14 Night Cruise from Venice

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Venice on August 7, 2027, visiting Bari, Santorini and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. 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 and Montenegro, 3 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 has 2,260 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. 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. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You start in Venice and come back with stories from Italy, Greece and Montenegro.
