Greek & Adriatic Gems – Santorini & Kotor

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on June 6, 2027 visits Santorini, Katakolon and Corfu, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The trip wraps in Ravenna, so you won't retrace your steps. No sea days at all on this one. 7 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Ravenna: Byzantine mosaics glittering in the Adriatic haze. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Gem keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
