9 Night Cruise from Taranto
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 9-night sailing from Taranto on September 12, 2027 visits Valletta, Catania and Naples, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Barcelona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Malta, Italy, France and Spain. Don't rush through Civitavecchia (Rome), which is known as The Eternal City is just an hour away. 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. Taranto itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 8 ports across 9 nights covers a lot.
