Costa Fortuna: 5-Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise
Istanbul – Mykonos – Heraklion, Crete – Rhodes – Santorini – Piraeus, Athens (one-way, Turkey to Greece)
Overview
Costa Fortuna carries the classic ocean-liner style of Costa's fleet, with a grand atrium modeled on the great transatlantic liners of the past, finished in warm materials and period detailing throughout its public spaces. Onboard, guests will find a mix of Italian and international dining, several bars and lounges, a theater with a nightly show schedule, and a well-equipped spa and fitness center alongside multiple pools and sun decks. Built in 2003, the ship carries up to 3,788 guests across 1,359 cabins on 13 decks, at roughly 105,000 gross tons and 272 meters in length. This five-night Eastern Mediterranean sailing departs Istanbul and calls at Mykonos, Heraklion in Crete, Rhodes, and Santorini before ending in Piraeus, the port of Athens. This is a cruise-only booking: flights into Istanbul and out of Athens are arranged separately by the guest, not included in the price shown.
