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

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on October 22, 2028, visiting Santorini, Katakolon and Corfu, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. Last stop: Barcelona. 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. 5 countries (Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy and Spain) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Pearl. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
