Ocean Discovery – Bari, Santorini & Mykonos

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Venice on August 8, 2026, visiting Bari, Santorini and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Italy, Greece and Croatia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Deliziosa has 2,260 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Venice has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
