Ocean Discovery – Venice, Bari & Santorini

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Venice on September 18, 2027, visiting Bari, Santorini and Mykonos, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The sailing ends in Trieste. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 10 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Mykonos: Whitewashed glamour under the Aegean sun. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Deliziosa has 2,260 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Venice before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 10 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
