Ocean Discovery – Civitavecchia (Rome), Naples & Chania

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from August 22, 2027 and let this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) do its thing. The route covers Naples, Souda (Chania) and Kusadasi, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You get off in Barcelona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 10 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 5 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Greece, Türkiye, Montenegro and Spain. Don't rush through Heraklion, which is known as Minoan legends on a Cretan shore. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Civitavecchia (Rome) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 10 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
