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

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from September 27, 2028 and let this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) do its thing. The route covers Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) and Kusadasi, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Greece, Türkiye, Malta and Italy) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Valletta, which is known as A fortress city of honey-coloured stone. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Epic. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 9 ports across 12 nights covers a lot.
