The newly-built Costa Fascinosa is a work of art with its immaculate interior design and modern layout. The ship offers a range of dining options and attractions such as a theatre, disco and casino and the not to be missed Grand Prix driving simulator. Children can enjoy themselves in the water park and can play the latest PlayStation games on this family friendly liner.

There are some extraordinary ports of call on this cruise, with trips to Bari (Italy), Katakolon (Olympia) and Santorini among the highlights. You will visit the picturesque city of Dubrovnik in Croatia where you can explore the marble streets and visit the wide range of shops and museums.

The deal includes a complimentary two-night break in Venice which is plenty of time to admire the architecture and perhaps take a gondola ride through the city's waterways.
