Ocean Discovery – Ravenna, Dubrovnik & Bar

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night sailing from Ravenna on September 22, 2028 visits Dubrovnik, Bar and Piraeus (Athens), with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Istanbul. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Croatia, Montenegro, Greece and Türkiye, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Istanbul: Where two continents embrace across the Bosphorus. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Viva launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Ravenna before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 8 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
