7nt Magnificent Mediterranean & 3nt Sorrento Stay

There are holidays, and then there are journeys that stay with you forever. This 10-night adventure through the Mediterranean offers just that. With a perfect mix of land and sea experiences, you will have the chance to explore some of Europe’s most beautiful destinations while enjoying the comfort and excitement of sailing aboard the Costa Fascinosa.

The trip begins with return flights to Barcelona, a city that never fails to charm visitors with its blend of Gothic streets, modernist architecture, and Mediterranean lifestyle. For two nights, you will have time to explore everything from Gaudí’s Sagrada Família to the bustling La Rambla, or simply enjoy tapas while soaking up the atmosphere of Spain’s most colourful city. Barcelona is the ideal starting point for your holiday, combining vibrant culture with a relaxed coastal vibe.

From Barcelona, your journey continues as you board the Costa Fascinosa for a 7-night full board cruise. The ship itself is designed for relaxation and enjoyment, offering stylish cabins, international dining, daily entertainment, and endless opportunities to unwind. Think of it as your floating hotel that takes you to a new city almost every day, without the hassle of constant packing and unpacking.

Your first stop is Naples, one of Italy’s most exciting and historic cities. Naples offers everything from world-class pizza to access to ancient Pompeii and the scenic Amalfi Coast. From there, you will sail to Palermo, the capital of Sicily, known for its stunning architecture, lively markets, and unique blend of cultures that have shaped the island over centuries.

The journey continues to the golden shores of Valletta, the capital of Malta. This UNESCO-listed city is packed with history, forts, and beautiful sea views. With its narrow streets, warm stone buildings, and waterfront cafes, Valletta is the kind of place where every corner tells a story.

Next comes Barcelona, where your cruise allows more time to see what you may have missed during your pre-cruise stay. Afterward, you will visit Marseille, France’s oldest city. A blend of Mediterranean energy and French style, Marseille is famous for its old port, seafood, and vibrant markets.

Finally, the ship sails into La Spezia, Italy’s gateway to the Cinque Terre. This collection of colourful seaside villages is one of Italy’s most photographed regions. Spend your time wandering through narrow alleys, tasting local wines, and taking in views that seem straight out of a postcard.

Every destination brings something different to the table: history, food, scenery, and culture. The highlight is the way this cruise ties them together into one seamless holiday. You will end the journey with a three-night stay in Sorrento, perched above the Bay of Naples. Known for its lemon groves, coastal views, and relaxed atmosphere, Sorrento is the perfect finale to a Mediterranean adventure.

This holiday is more than a simple getaway. It is a chance to celebrate life, to discover new places, to relax by the sea, and to return home with stories worth sharing. At a price from just £569 per person, and with a saving of £660 per couple, it is also exceptional value for money.

When you book this package, you do not just get a cruise. You secure a complete travel experience with land stays, flights, meals, and entertainment included. Here is what you can look forward to:

• Three-night stay in Sorrento after the cruise

To end your holiday, you will spend three nights in Sorrento, one of Italy’s most charming coastal towns. Known for its stunning views of the Bay of Naples and its easy access to Capri, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is a place to slow down, relax, and savour the final days of your journey.

This package brings together the best of land and sea, designed to give you both discovery and relaxation without the stress of planning each detail yourself.

This holiday departs on 10th November 2025, a time of year when the Mediterranean still offers pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and plenty of charm. It is an ideal season to travel if you want to enjoy the beauty of the region without the busy summer rush.

The journey lasts a total of 10 nights, giving you enough time to truly enjoy both the cruise and the land stays. You will spend two nights in Barcelona before boarding the ship, seven nights exploring the Mediterranean by sea, and three nights in Sorrento after the cruise.

By the end of your trip, you will have walked through ancient ruins in Naples, sampled Sicilian flavours in Palermo, admired Valletta’s golden streets, relaxed in Barcelona, explored the French charm of Marseille, marvelled at La Spezia and the Cinque Terre, and enjoyed the beauty of Sorrento. It is not just a holiday – it is a collection of memories from across the Mediterranean, wrapped into one incredible journey.
