7 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Catania

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Catania on August 29, 2026 visits Taranto, Kefalonia, Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) and Valletta and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Italy, Greece and Malta) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Of the stops, Taranto tends to be the one people talk about: City of two seas and Spartan roots. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 113,321 gross tons, Costa Fascinosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
