Mediterranean Grand Tour – Rome, Athens & Mykonos

About this cruise

You sail from Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 11, 2026 and spend 9 nights visiting Kusadasi, Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon and Naples. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Türkiye, Greece and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Legend takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Civitavecchia (Rome) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Civitavecchia (Rome) and come back with stories from Türkiye, Greece and Italy.
