7 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Savona

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Savona on April 25, 2027, visiting La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Messina and Toulon. 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. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
