Timeless Treasures – Rome, Santorini & Mykonos

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on July 6, 2026 visits Naples, Messina, Santorini, Kusadasi, Mykonos and Piraeus (Athens). You wind up in Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Italy, Greece and Türkiye) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Messina stands out. It's Sicily's gateway to Mount Etna and Taormina. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Brilliance Of The Seas. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
