Ocean Discovery – Iraklion, Zakinthos & Kotor

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 13 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on May 7, 2028, visiting Heraklion, Zakynthos Island and Kotor, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. Crossing 4 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, At 2,260 guests, Costa Deliziosa has pools, shows, and a solid range of restaurants. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Piraeus (Athens) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
