Ocean Discovery – Chania, Katakolon (Olympia) & Messina

About this cruise

A 32-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 Piraeus (Athens) on April 24, 2028 and visits Souda (Chania), Katakolon and Messina, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 6 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Greece, Italy, Malta, Türkiye, Croatia and Montenegro. Salerno stands out. It's The gateway to the Amalfi Coast's vertical beauty. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Enchanted Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Piraeus (Athens) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
