Ocean Discovery – Ravenna, Dubrovnik & Bar

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from Ravenna on July 28, 2028, visiting Dubrovnik, Bar and Piraeus (Athens), with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. You finish in Istanbul. 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. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Croatia to 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, Norwegian Viva (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
