Ocean Discovery – Nafplio, Istanbul & Kusadasi
About this cruise
A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 11 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on October 3, 2026, visiting Nafplio, Istanbul, Kusadasi, Santorini, Rhodes and Souda (Chania). The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Whitewashed Cycladic villages one day, busy bazaars the next. Very different moods, same cruise. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Oosterdam has 7 dining spots on board, most of them included. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Greece and Türkiye.
