7 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Athens

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Piraeus (Athens) on July 8, 2026 and visits Valletta, Catania, Taranto, Kefalonia and Mykonos. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Malta to Greece. 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 Fascinosa holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
