8 Night Cruise from Catania

About this cruise

8 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Catania on September 12, 2026 visits Taranto, Valletta and La Goulette (Tunis), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and doesn't try to cram in too much. The sailing ends in Genoa. No sea days at all on this one. 8 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, Malta, Tunisia and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about La Goulette (Tunis): Gateway to Carthage and the Tunis medina. Around 9 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 8 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
