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

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Toulon on October 23, 2027 visits Savona, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno and Catania. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Keep an eye out for La Spezia: Gateway to the pastel villages of Cinque Terre. 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. Toulon itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 7 nights well spent.
