Ocean Discovery – Piraeus (Athens), Santorini & Iraklion

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on May 8, 2027 visits Santorini, Heraklion and Zakynthos Island, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in Venice. 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. 4 countries (Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, At 2,260 guests, Costa Deliziosa has pools, shows, and a solid range of restaurants. 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. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy.
