8 days, round-trip Western Mediterranean from Civitavecchia Rome

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 10, 2027 visits Salerno, Catania, Toulon, Savona, La Spezia and Ajaccio. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. Catania alone is worth the trip, Baroque beauty in the shadow of Mount Etna. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
