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

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome) on July 5, 2028, visiting Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) and Kusadasi, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Türkiye, Malta and Italy, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Epic keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
