Ocean Discovery – Marseille, Ajaccio & Genoa

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 21-night sailing leaves Barcelona on August 15, 2027 and visits Marseille, Ajaccio and Genoa, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 14 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: France, Italy, Greece, Türkiye and Montenegro. Don't rush through Piraeus (Athens), which is known as The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sun Princess (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Barcelona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 14 ports across 21 nights covers a lot.
