Ocean Discovery – Iraklion, Alexandria & Limassol

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Heraklion on October 22, 2027, visiting Alexandria, Limassol and Rhodes, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You finish in Palma de Mallorca. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 6 countries (Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, Malta, Italy and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Palma de Mallorca alone is worth the trip, A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Mein Schiff 5. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
