Mediterranean Grand Voyage – Santorini & Barcelona

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 14 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on May 9, 2026, visiting Santorini, Bar and Corfu, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The trip wraps in Civitavecchia (Rome), so you won't retrace your steps. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 5 countries (Greece, Montenegro, Italy, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Sun Princess (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
