Ocean Discovery – Istanbul, Izmir & Volos

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Istanbul on October 31, 2027 and visits Izmir, Volos and Santorini, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. You get off in Genoa, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 12 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 6 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Türkiye, Greece, Tunisia, Italy, Spain and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Pacifica carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 12 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
