9 days, one-way from Taranto to Barcelona
About this cruise
You board in Taranto on September 13, 2026 for 9 nights visiting Valletta, La Goulette (Tunis) and Palermo, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You wind up in Barcelona, so it's worth planning a night or two there. No sea days at all on this one. 9 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Malta, Tunisia, Italy, France and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Palermo stands out. It's Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. 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. All in all, it's a solid trip.
