Norwegian Viva: 10-Night Cruise from Istanbul - July 11, 2027

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Izmir, Turkey, from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

The Norwegian Viva will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Santorini (Thira), Greece.

Your ship arrives in Mykonos, Greece at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.

With 12 hours hours in Piraeus (Athens), Greece - from 5:30 AM to 6:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe.

From the Acropolis to lively plazas filled with cafés, the city balances ancient wonders with everyday Greek life.

Your cruise ends in Ravenna, Italy, where the Norwegian Viva is scheduled to dock at 6:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first.
