Ocean Discovery – Chania, Rhodes & Santorini

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Piraeus (Athens) on September 6, 2028 and the route takes you through Souda (Chania), Rhodes, Santorini, Kusadasi, Istanbul and Mykonos at a pace where there's never any need to rush. 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. Keep an eye out for Rhodes: Medieval knights and Aegean light. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Scarlet Lady has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 11 nights well spent.
