14 nights - Eastern Mediterranean Intensive - from/to Heraklion

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Heraklion on April 30, 2027 through Alexandria, Limassol and Rhodes, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 5 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Italy. Don't rush through Limassol, which is known as Sun, wine, and ancient kingdoms on Cyprus. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff 5 has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Heraklion itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 8 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
