Odyssey of the Gods – Barcelona, Rome & Ephesus

About this cruise

If you've got 21 nights to work with, this sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on August 13, 2028 through Heraklion, Bar and Corfu, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 6 countries (Greece, Montenegro, Italy, Spain, France and Türkiye) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Heraklion, Minoan legends on a Cretan shore. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
