Ocean Discovery – Venice, Bari & Santorini
About this cruise
Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Venice on September 19, 2026 and visits Bari, Santorini and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. You finish in Trieste. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Italy, Greece and Croatia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Split alone is worth the trip, Diocletian's palace, still alive after 1,700 years. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. At 2,260 guests, Costa Deliziosa has pools, shows, and a solid range of restaurants. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
