Cobalt Shards – Dubrovnik, Crete & Santorini

About this cruise

You sail from Ravenna on October 1, 2027 and spend 10 nights visiting Dubrovnik, Bar and Corfu, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You get off in Piraeus (Athens), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. 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. 3 countries (Croatia, Montenegro and Greece) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Celebrity Eclipse. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 10 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
