6 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Genoa Portofino

About this cruise

This one leaves Genoa on March 29, 2027 and spends 6 nights visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Messina and Toulon at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Fascinosa: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 6-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
