Ocean Discovery – Santorini, Iraklion & Zakinthos

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 15 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on April 22, 2028, visiting Santorini, Heraklion and Zakynthos Island, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Deliziosa has 2,260 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
