Ocean Discovery – Trieste, Zadar & Bar

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from September 14, 2027. This one's 11 nights from Trieste, and the route visits Zadar, Bar and Kotor, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Last stop: Civitavecchia (Rome). The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Malta and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Enchanted Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Trieste has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
