7 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Taranto

About this cruise

You board in Taranto on August 23, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Kefalonia, Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens), Valletta and Catania, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. 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 (Greece, Malta and Italy) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Valletta, which is known as A fortress city of honey-coloured stone. 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. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
