Ocean Discovery – Piraeus (Athens), Chania & Katakolon (Olympia)

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 22 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on April 24, 2028, visiting Souda (Chania), Katakolon and Messina, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. You wind up in Civitavecchia (Rome), so it's worth planning a night or two there. 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 route threads through 4 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Greece, Italy, Malta and Türkiye. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Enchanted Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
