There is no airport in Savona so most passengers beginning or ending cruises there normally fly into or out of Genoa, or Milán-Malpensa Airport which lies 190km to the north. Shuttle transfers are available from the airport to Milano Centrale train stations from where there are some direct trains to Savona and others which require a change in Genoa.
Cruise ship passengers who are beginning or ending their cruise in Savona will find a selection of modern hotels in the historic centre or can stay in a beach hotel at the Playa de Luna resort to the south. A little further south but still only 15km from the cruise port is the lovely resort of Spotorno which is highly recommended for a few nights’ stay.
An evening in Savona is best spent dining on Ligurian seafood dishes at a local restaurant such as Ristorante Verso il Maestrale (Calata Pietro Sbarbaro) which overlooks the harbour. Alternatively, you can head for one of the city’s many family-run trattorias such as Pizzeria Vesuvio (Piazza Goffredo Mameli) which serves excellent pizzas and pasta dishes to a mainly local clientele.
Redefinition Gay Cruise Ship - Costa Pacifica
The Costa Pacifica is already a ship from the Guinness Book of Records because it was christened in Genoa on the same day as the Costa Luminosa. Its motto is "the sea in music": the styling and the deck names are all related to the world of music.
A stave of emotions on board amongst composers, operas and musical instruments that decorate each room. Costa Pacifica’s interior design is the work of an innovative artist in a harmonious blend of different styles. Music is played throughout the ship during the day. Particular care was taken to provide flawless sound quality aboard, and the maestro Mauro Pagani has also written thirty pieces of music exclusively for this cruise ship. When you're tired of the music, visit the external decks to listen to the melody created by the lapping of the water.
Atmosphere on Board
The atmosphere is very international with a special focus on the Italian way of life. Many passengers and crew members speak German & Spanish. The dress code is casual and informal. On a few days in the main restaurant there are Gala evenings for which a more elegant clothing is suitable. Costa Pacifica is like a swimming city with a varied range of entertainment programmes. First time travellers will love the fun, entertainment and Italian food aboard the ship.
Food and Beverages
There are five different restaurants including the Club Restaurant and the Samsara Restaurant. Additionally, there are 13 bars with a big variety of beverages e.g. the Cigar Bar and Coffee & Chocolate Bar. For breakfast and lunch there are some buffet restaurants opened. In the evening there are two dining seatings in the main restaurant.
Entertainment, Sports and Relaxation
Every evening fascinating shows take place in the big theatre. Apart from that there are some shops, a casino, a disco, a water slide and much more to discover. In preparation to the shore excursions presentations about the different ports are given. For the sports lovers there is a big gym and an outside sports court.

Day 1 - Savona, Italy
Located on the Ligurian coast of Italy between Monaco and Genoa, Savona has served as an important port since it was occupied by the Romans in 180 BC. Above the port of Savona, the Priamar Fortress greets our departure and arrival of the Costa Pacifica ship sailing in the Mediterranean. Genoa and its aquarium are nearby. The port of Savona is one of the prettiest of the Italian Riviera. The lovely climate, summers that are never to hot, mild winters and the exceptional beauty of the sea near the town makes Savona an excellent base to set out to explore Liguria. Savona is notable for the Priamar Fortress, which has dominated the town since the 16th century, and also for its historic centre where you can visit Savona Cathedral. A stop in Savona can also be an opportunity to visit the nearby city of Genoa and its narrow, picturesque streets, known as “caruggi”.
Day 2 - Toulon (La Seyne-sur-Mer), France
The port of Toulon is a significant port owing to its well-protected location. It is one of the main ports and most typical of the French Riviera. Toulon is a charming city in southern France with a recently restored old town, cute narrow streets, small squares and many fountains. Stepping ashore, you will love the fantastic Provencal market and the city centre. Also, only a few miles from Toulon stunning cities and villages awaits you to be explored!
Day 3 - Valencia, Spain
The sights and sounds of Valencia, Spain are ones you’ll never forget. The chatter of shoppers haggling at Mercado Central. The smell of freshly cooked paella wafting through a restaurant window. The taste of a strong coffee early in the morning on a walk to La Lonja de la Seda. These simple pleasures make cruises to Valencia, Spain a must-experience destination as a stop on any Mediterranean cruise.
Day 4 - Palma de Mallorca, Spain
A Palma de Mallorca cruise brings you to the elegant capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands, set around the broad sweep of the Bay of Palma. The mighty La Seu Cathedral, towering over the old Gothic Quarter, dominates the skyline, while the entire bay is filled with yachts. Wooded hills form a backdrop, which lead to the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains that form the spine along the west of this surprisingly diverse island.
Day 5 - Fun Day at Sea!
While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until we arrive at the next amazing destination.
Day 6 - Olbia, Sardinia (Italy)
Wedged into the coastline, Olbia is the largest town you’ll see on cruise around north-eastern Sardinia, its recent phenomenal growth due to the huge influx of tourists and cruisers bound for one of the Mediterranean’s loveliest stretches of coast, the Emerald Coast. Olbia has a first-class museum, plus numerous bars and restaurants, usually abuzz with tourists. Long a magnet for Italy’s glitziest celebrities, in the 1960s the five-star development of the Costa Smeralda helped to transform the economy of the entire island.
Day 7 - Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
Extraordinary architecture, millennia of turbulent history, magnificent basilicas concealing unimaginable riches, and ornate fountains splashing at the heart of sun-drenched piazzas are just some of the many reasons to visit Rome. Art greets you on every corner, from elaborate statues to delicate frescoes. Stroll the ancient center and history comes to life as you explore the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum. Enjoy Italian café culture in Trastevere, where you can wander the narrow streets and soak up a sense of la dolce vita, or throw a coin into the baroque Trevi Fountain to guarantee your return to this vibrant, intoxicating city.
Day 8 - Savona (Genoa), Italy
Behind Savona's sprawling port facilities, the city's unexpectedly graceful medieval centre is well worth a stop. Among the old-town treasures to survive destruction by Genoese forces in the 16th century are the baroque Cattedrale di Nostra Signora Assunta and the lumbering Fortezza del Priamŕr. There's also a nice urban buzz, with lots of new shops, bars and restaurants regenerating the old centre. Don't miss an opportunity to visit the capital of the Italian region of Liguria the nearby city of Genoa.
