Ocean Discovery – Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) & Kusadasi (Ephesus)

About this cruise

If you've got 11 nights to work with, this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on June 3, 2028 through Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) and Kusadasi, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 4 countries (Greece, Türkiye, Malta and Italy) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Of the stops, Livorno (Florence/Pisa) tends to be the one people talk about: Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Epic. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
