Ocean Discovery – Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) & Santorini

About this cruise

This one leaves Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 6, 2028 and spends 10 nights visiting Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) and Santorini, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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 Western Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Malta and Italy, 3 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. 10 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. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
