Enjoy Naples' street food, seafood, and pastries while exploring both cultural sites and lively neighborhoods.

The Sun 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 Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey 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 14 hours hours in Mykonos, Greece - from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Bar, Montenegro, from 7:30 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. Visiting offers a quiet moment of reflection and a deeper appreciation of Montenegro's heritage.

Your cruise ends in Barcelona, Spain, where the Sun Princess is scheduled to dock at 6:00 AM.

Wandering through the older districts reveals narrow streets, hidden squares, and centuries of stories.
