Odyssey of the Antiquarians – Rome, Barcelona & Athens

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 25 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on August 4, 2027, visiting Souda (Chania), Kusadasi and Santorini, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 13 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Greece, Türkiye, Italy, Spain and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Ajaccio: Napoleon's birthplace on Corsican shores. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sun Princess launched in 2024, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 25 nights well spent.
