7 days, round-trip 7 Night Greek Isles Albania and the Adriatic Cruise

About this cruise

This one leaves Piraeus (Athens) on September 26, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Dubrovnik, Kotor, Sarande and Mykonos at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, The ship is Virgin Voyages's Scarlet Lady. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece.
