Ocean Discovery – Naples, Chania & Kusadasi (Ephesus)

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from August 22, 2027. This one's 21 nights from Civitavecchia (Rome), and the route visits Naples, Souda (Chania) and Kusadasi, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece, Türkiye, Montenegro, Spain and France, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 21-night sailing is a strong place to start.
