7 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Athens

About this cruise

7 nights, 5 ports, all from Piraeus (Athens) on June 9, 2027. The route visits Valletta, Catania, Taranto, Kefalonia and Mykonos and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 3 countries (Malta, Italy and Greece) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. 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 Serena holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
