Ocean Discovery – Piraeus (Athens), Santorini & Iraklion
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on April 24, 2027 visits Santorini, Heraklion and Zakynthos Island, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. Last stop: Venice. No sea days at all on this one. 7 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Zakynthos Island tends to be the one people talk about: Turquoise coves and the shipwreck's shore. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Costa Deliziosa carries 2,260 guests across 12 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
