Ocean Discovery – Mykonos, Thessaloniki & Istanbul

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on August 10, 2028 visits Mykonos, Thessaloniki, Istanbul, Kusadasi, Rhodes and Santorini. 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. People come back from this cruise talking about Thessaloniki: Byzantine mosaics and waterfront mezze. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Celebrity Infinity. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 6 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
