Ocean Discovery – Piraeus (Athens), Iraklion & Bar

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Piraeus (Athens) on August 29, 2027 and visits Heraklion, Bar and Corfu, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Last stop: Civitavecchia (Rome). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 11 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 5 countries (Greece, Montenegro, Italy, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Of the stops, Ajaccio tends to be the one people talk about: Napoleon's birthplace on Corsican shores. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sun Princess (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
