14 Night Cruise from Piraeus (Athens)

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on May 8, 2027, visiting Santorini, Heraklion and Zakynthos Island, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in Venice. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Crossing 4 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Deliziosa has 2,260 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Piraeus (Athens) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy.
