10 Night Cruise from Piraeus (Athens)

About this cruise

By March 11, 2028 you'll be ready for this. 10 nights out of Piraeus (Athens), visiting Mykonos, Valletta and Palma de Mallorca, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The sailing ends in Lisbon. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Malta, Spain, Morocco and Portugal, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Nieuw Statendam keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
