Ocean Discovery – Trieste, Zadar & Split

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Trieste on October 17, 2027 visits Zadar, Split and Bari, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and doesn't try to cram in too much. Disembarkation is in Palma de Mallorca. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Croatia to Spain. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Palermo, Arab-Norman splendour in Sicily's capital. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mein Schiff 4 has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
