14 nights - Eastern Mediterranean Intensive - from/to Heraklion

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Heraklion on August 20, 2027 and visits Limassol, Rhodes and Piraeus (Athens), with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Cyprus to Malta. Keep an eye out for Taranto: City of two seas and Spartan roots. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mein Schiff 5 has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 14 nights well spent.
