Byzantine Echo – Rhodes, Valletta & Palermo

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from October 26, 2027. This one's 11 nights from Istanbul, and the route visits Kusadasi, Rhodes and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. You wind up in Civitavecchia (Rome), so it's worth planning a night or two there. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Türkiye, Greece, Malta and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Enchanted Princess. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
