Golden Stone Odyssey – Kotor, Corfu & Zadar
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Trieste on August 23, 2026 and visits Kotor, Corfu, Zadar and Koper. It splits nicely: 4 days seeing places and 2 days doing nothing at all. Crossing 4 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Montenegro, Greece, Croatia and Slovenia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Mein Schiff 4 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Trieste has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
