Cobalt Aegean Crossing – Naples, Crete & Mykonos

About this cruise

You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) on July 25, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Naples, Souda (Chania), Kusadasi, Mykonos and Piraeus (Athens), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You get off in Piraeus (Athens), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece and Türkiye, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Kusadasi, which is known as Turkey's gateway to the ruins of Ephesus. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sun Princess launched in 2024, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
