Enchanted Princess: 11-Night Cruise from Piraeus (Athens) - June 1, 2027

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Heraklion, Crete, Greece, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Heraklion cruise port sits very close to the city center making it one of the more convenient Greek ports.

The Enchanted Princess carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Ephesus is the reason many travelers come to Kusadasi, and it rarely disappoints.

Your ship arrives in Rhodes, Greece at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Rhodes Old Town is a living museum of medieval streets, stone walls, and historic landmarks.

With 14 hours hours in Mykonos, Greece - from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Psarou Beach offers golden sand, clear waters, and a lively atmosphere with beachfront bars and restaurants.

The Enchanted Princess carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Chania, Greece. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Start with an unhurried walk through Chania old town, where stone lanes open onto small squares and hidden courtyards.

Your ship arrives in Valletta, Malta 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. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. From the outside it looks restrained, but inside is one of the most richly decorated churches in Europe.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Sicily, Italy, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Discover the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, explore the Greek theater in Taormina, and wander through archaeological sites that showcase Sicily's storied past.

The Enchanted Princess carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Messina, Sicily, Italy. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. The Cathedral of Messina, rebuilt after earthquakes, features a stunning interior, historic mosaics, and the famous astronomical clock.

Your ship arrives in Naples, Italy 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. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on cobblestone streets and uneven paths.

Your cruise ends in Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy, where the Enchanted Princess is scheduled to dock at 6:00 AM. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Rome is the main draw, and many visitors focus on a handful of must see areas.
