Mediterranean Grand Tour – Istanbul & Rome

About this cruise

You sail from Istanbul on June 23, 2027 and spend 9 nights visiting Kusadasi, Piraeus (Athens) and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. Disembarkation is 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. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Türkiye to Italy. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Viva launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Istanbul and come back with stories from Türkiye, Greece, Malta and Italy.
