7 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Catania

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Catania on June 12, 2027 and visits Taranto, Kefalonia, Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) and Valletta. 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 Italy to Malta. 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. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
