Legendary Coastlines – Istanbul & Rome

About this cruise

This one leaves Istanbul on July 13, 2026 and spends 9 nights visiting Kusadasi, Piraeus (Athens) and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. You finish in Civitavecchia (Rome). Every single day is a port day. 9 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. The route threads through 4 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Türkiye, Greece, Malta and Italy. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Viva joined the Norwegian Cruise Line's lineup in 2023. Still has that new-ship feel. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
