Odyssey of the West – Dubrovnik, Lisbon & Le Havre

About this cruise

Block out 19 nights from April 10, 2028 and let this sailing from Piraeus (Athens) do its thing. The route covers Mykonos, Souda (Chania) and Katakolon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You wind up in Southampton, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 15 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 9 countries, from Greece to United Kingdom. Dubrovnik stands out. It's The pearl of the Adriatic. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Caribbean Princess has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
