Ocean Discovery – Bari, Corfu & Zakinthos

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Venice on September 12, 2026 through Bari, Corfu and Zakynthos Island, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. 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 Croatia, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Kefalonia alone is worth the trip, Captain Corelli's turquoise paradise. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Costa Deliziosa carries 2,260 guests across 12 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. 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 Venice before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
