Ocean Discovery – Barcelona, Palermo & Mykonos
About this cruise
You board in Barcelona on September 9, 2028 for 7 nights visiting Palermo, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Piraeus (Athens), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You get off in Piraeus (Athens), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. Don't rush through Piraeus (Athens), which is known as The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Xcel launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
