Greek & Adriatic Gems – Santorini & Kotor

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on May 23, 2027 visits Santorini, Katakolon and Corfu, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Ravenna. 7 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. The route threads through 5 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. People come back from this cruise talking about Santorini: Sunsets that redefine the colour blue. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Gem, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Piraeus (Athens) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 7 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
