7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from La Seyne sur Mer St. Tropez

About this cruise

You sail from Toulon on April 24, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Savona, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno and Messina. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Fascinosa: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
