Ocean Discovery – Istanbul, Kusadasi (Ephesus) & Santorini

About this cruise

You sail from Istanbul on August 25, 2028 and spend 10 nights visiting Kusadasi, Santorini and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. Last stop: Ravenna. Every single day is a port day. 10 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 5 countries, from Türkiye to Italy. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Viva launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
