About This Cruise
The 8 Night Western Mediterranean from Catania is a 8-night one-way itinerary aboard Costa Serena. You board in Catania and disembark in Barcelona, calling at 9 ports across 6 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Sicily (Catania), Italy (Taranto), Malta (La Valletta), Sicily (Catania), Italy (Naples, Civitavecchia), Corsica (Ajaccio) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Catania and home from Barcelona, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 1 day at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
