Ocean Discovery – Katakolon (Olympia), Iraklion & Rhodes
About this cruise
A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 11 nights from Venice on November 1, 2028, visiting Katakolon, Heraklion and Rhodes, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 4 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and Croatia. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Lirica has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 11-night sailing is a strong place to start.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
