Seabourn Quest: 14-Night Cruise from Dubrovnik - October 4, 2026

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Korcula, Croatia, 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. Visiting here offers the chance to experience traditional island life, excellent local wine, and coastal beauty in a setting that feels both authentic and welcoming.

As a smaller vessel, the Seabourn Quest means a quicker disembarkation in Brindisi, Italy - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Start along the waterfront, where the harbor curves gently and boats come and go throughout the day.

Your ship arrives in Sarande, Albania 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.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Zakynthos, Greece, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

As a smaller vessel, the Seabourn Quest means a quicker disembarkation in Chania, Greece - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Start with an unhurried walk through Chania old town, where stone lanes open onto small squares and hidden courtyards.

Your ship arrives in Mykonos, 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.

With 15 hours hours in Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey - from 8:00 AM to 11:00 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. The bazaar area is lively and colorful, filled with spices, textiles, ceramics, and local souvenirs.

As a smaller vessel, the Seabourn Quest means a quicker disembarkation in Cesme, turkey - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Cesme Castle dominates the harbor and is an easy walk from the cruise pier.

Your cruise ends in Istanbul, Turkey, where the Seabourn Quest is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Taking a local ferry along the Bosphorus is one of the simplest and most rewarding experiences in Istanbul.
