8 Night Cruise from Taranto

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night sailing from Taranto on September 12, 2027 visits Valletta, Catania and Naples, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Last stop: Marseille. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Malta, Italy and France, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Naples tends to be the one people talk about: Chaos, pizza, and passion beneath Vesuvius. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Serena carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Taranto before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
