Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Marseille & Santa Margherita

About this cruise

Block out 32 nights from September 5, 2028 and let this sailing from Barcelona do its thing. The route covers Marseille, Santa Margherita Ligure and Ajaccio, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. The sailing ends in Piraeus (Athens). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 20 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 8 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: France, Italy, Malta, Montenegro, Greece, Croatia, Cyprus and Türkiye. People come back from this cruise talking about Marseille: France's oldest city, salty and soulful. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Enchanted Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 20 ports, 8 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
