7 days, one-way from Taranto to Savona

About this cruise

You sail from Taranto on September 13, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Valletta, La Goulette (Tunis) and Palermo, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You get off in Savona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Every single day is a port day. 7 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. 4 countries (Malta, Tunisia, Italy and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. 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. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
