Sunken Pillars – Valletta & Catania

About this cruise

3 nights, 2 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Piraeus (Athens) on July 29, 2026 and visits Valletta and Catania. You finish in Catania. That gives you 2 days in port and 1 at sea, enough of each to find a rhythm. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. As for the ship itself, Costa Fascinosa: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Piraeus (Athens) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
