Ocean Discovery – Katakolon (Olympia), Argostoli (Kefallinia) & Corfu

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on April 4, 2028 visits Katakolon, Kefalonia, Corfu, Bari and Santorini. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. Don't rush through Katakolon, which is known as Gateway to ancient Olympia. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Orchestra keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
