Suggested Itinerary Overview

Start your journey by flying from Henri Coandă Airport to Barcelona–El Prat. Upon arrival, you can enjoy some free time in Barcelona before boarding the Costa Fascinosa. During your 3-night cruise, you will explore charming ports in France and Italy, combining coastal views, local cuisine, and cultural experiences, before returning to Barcelona.

For your trip, I recommend a mix of practical guides and inspiring reads. For Barcelona and Spain, consider “Rick Steves Barcelona” for easy walking tours and local tips, and the “Lonely Planet Barcelona” guide for up-to-date listings, restaurants, and nightlife. For the French and Italian ports you may visit on your Costa cruise, “Lonely Planet France” and “Lonely Planet Italy” pocket guides are very handy on shore excursions. If you enjoy deeper background, “Barcelona” by Robert Hughes gives a rich cultural history of the city, and “The Most Beautiful Villages of France” or “The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy” (various publishers) offer great visual inspiration for coastal towns you might see. Finally, check Costa Cruises’ own shore excursion brochures and mobile app: they usually include short descriptions, maps, and practical tips tailored to each port you will visit on the Costa Fascinosa.
