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

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 8 nights from Toulon on May 14, 2027, visiting Savona, La Spezia, Ajaccio, Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno and Messina. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. La Spezia stands out. It's Gateway to the pastel villages of Cinque Terre. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Fascinosa carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Toulon itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
