Cobblestone Odyssey – Corfu, Marseille & Civitavecchia

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from September 24, 2028. This one's 14 nights from Piraeus (Athens), and the route visits Heraklion, Bar and Corfu, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. You get off in Naples, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 5 countries (Greece, Montenegro, Italy, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
