Ocean Discovery – La Valletta, Catania & Taranto

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on August 26, 2026 visits Valletta, Catania, Taranto, Kefalonia and Mykonos. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Malta, Italy and Greece. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Mykonos, which is known as Whitewashed glamour under the Aegean sun. 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 timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
