Odyssey of the Aegean – Istanbul, Rome & Dubrovnik

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 42 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on September 4, 2027, visiting Santorini, Souda (Chania) and Katakolon, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Italy, Malta, Türkiye, France, Montenegro, Croatia and Cyprus, 8 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 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 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. 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. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Greece, Italy, Malta, Türkiye, France, Montenegro, Croatia and Cyprus.
