Ocean Discovery – Mykonos, Iraklion & Rhodes

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Istanbul on May 23, 2027 visits Mykonos, Heraklion, Rhodes, Santorini and Piraeus (Athens) and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. People come back from this cruise talking about Rhodes: Medieval knights and Aegean light. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,500 gross tons, Costa Pacifica is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 5 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
