Mediterranean Grandeur – Mykonos & Santorini

About this cruise

A 11-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Barcelona on May 3, 2027 and visits La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Salerno, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Piraeus (Athens). A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece and Türkiye, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Piraeus (Athens): The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rhapsody Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 9 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
