Ocean Discovery – Piraeus (Athens), Bodrum & Santorini

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 9-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on August 29, 2027 visits Bodrum, Santorini and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Civitavecchia (Rome). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Türkiye, Greece, Malta and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Valletta: A fortress city of honey-coloured stone. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Scarlet Lady. 12 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 7 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
