Odyssey of Antiquity – Valletta, Ephesus & Kotor

About this cruise

21 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 20, 2026 and the route takes you through Alghero, Genoa and Livorno (Florence/Pisa), with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Malta, Greece, Türkiye, Croatia and Montenegro, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Livorno (Florence/Pisa) alone is worth the trip, Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Enchanted Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
