Ocean Discovery – Mykonos, Iraklion & Santorini

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Istanbul on July 4, 2027 visits Mykonos, Heraklion, Santorini, Kos Island and Piraeus (Athens). 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. Don't rush through Heraklion, which is known as Minoan legends on a Cretan shore. Around 11 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
