Ocean Discovery – Iraklion, La Valletta & Catania

About this cruise

You board in Heraklion on October 29, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Valletta, Catania, Salerno, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palma de Mallorca, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You finish in Palma de Mallorca. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Malta, Italy and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Civitavecchia (Rome) alone is worth the trip, The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Mein Schiff 5. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
