Ocean Discovery – Salerno, Chania & Kusadasi (Ephesus)

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 Civitavecchia (Rome) on June 12, 2027 visits Salerno, Souda (Chania), Kusadasi and Katakolon. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece and Türkiye, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Kusadasi stands out. It's Turkey's gateway to the ruins of Ephesus. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Enchanted Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
