Costa Fascinosa Returns For Beautiful Mediterranean Summers

  • The Costa Fascinosa has completed its Caribbean winter program and returned to its home port in Savona, Italy.
  • The ship is currently offering flexible four-night Western Mediterranean cruises with multiple embarkation options in Spain and France.
  • A summer schedule in the Eastern Mediterranean will focus on iconic destinations in Greece, Southern Italy, and Malta.
  • Costa Cruises is expanding its regional presence by deploying three vessels to the Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic for the 2026 season.

Costa Fascinosa has successfully marked its return to European waters following a vibrant winter season in the Caribbean. Since November, the 2012-built vessel has been providing international guests with unforgettable fly-cruise experiences from the Dominican Republic and Guadeloupe, visiting tropical gems like Barbados, Antigua, and Tortola. This transition signals the start of an exciting spring and summer season, as the ship brings its signature Italian style back to the historic ports of the Mediterranean.

The journey home was a grand twenty-two night transatlantic crossing that arrived at Costa’s Palacrociere Terminal in Savona, Italy, on March 28, 2026. This repositioning cruise offered travelers a unique blend of Caribbean charm and European elegance, with stops in Martinique, Tenerife, and Barcelona. Now safely back in the Western Mediterranean, the vessel is currently offering a series of flexible four-night cruises that allow guests the convenience of embarking in Barcelona, Marseille, or Savona. These short escapes are a perfect way for travelers to sample the rich culture and stunning coastlines of Spain, France, and Italy.

As the season progresses, the Costa Fascinosa will broaden its horizons with a fourteen-night voyage to the Greek Islands and Malta before settling into a dedicated summer schedule in the Eastern Mediterranean. Departing from accessible ports such as Catania, Taranto, and Piraeus, these seven-night itineraries will showcase the timeless beauty of Mykonos, Valletta, and Argostoli. Alongside sister ships Costa Fortuna and Costa Deliziosa, the Fascinosa is poised to provide a summer filled with discovery, sunshine, and the effortless relaxation that defines the Costa Cruises experience.
