7 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Taranto

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Taranto on July 26, 2026 visits Kefalonia, Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens), Valletta and Catania. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Malta and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Catania: Baroque beauty in the shadow of Mount Etna. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Fascinosa carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Taranto before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 7 nights well spent.
