Why We Love This Deal
Cruising the Mediterranean in summer is smart luxury. You sidestep peak-season hotel prices while soaking in the magic. Think sunsets in Santorini, alleyway cafés in Mykonos, and Corfu's olive-scented breeze. But this isn’t just a Greek islands cruise; it’s a cultural sweep through five stunning countries. Begin with a night in Istanbul, where minarets pierce the sky and bazaars buzz with life. Then sail aboard NCL's Norwegian Viva from Istanbul to Venice. Explore ancient ruins, island gems, and wake to coastlines straight from a postcard. A new day. A new port. A new story. End with a night in Venice—a grand finale of canals, facades and Italian flair.
Travelzoo loves: that you’ll cruise with one of NCL’s newest and sleekest ships. Spacious and spa-worthy, this is elevated cruising at its finest. Relax in salt rooms, sip cocktails by firepits, and stroll a wraparound deck with sea views. With nearly one crew member per two guests, you’ll enjoy personalised service on this truly luxurious escape.
Inside and Outside cabins are now sold out everywhere—only Ecruising still has them. Balcony cabins are selling fast too, so you’ll want to act quickly. At $6499 per person, Travelzoo members score an exclusive $500 off the regular Inside prices. We also negotiated an exclusive $600 off the popular Outside and Balcony cabins. Your total savings vs self-packaging? Up to $2280 per person. Flights? Locked in. Stays in Istanbul and Venice? All top-notch and 4-star. Plus, NCL’s More at Sea perks are included. That’s cocktails, specialty dining, shore credits, Wi-Fi and gratuities—all bundled in.

Itinerary highlights
Begin your journey in Istanbul, where East meets West in a city of minarets, palaces and vibrant bazaars. Explore the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia or cruise along the Bosphorus before setting sail.
Kusadasi, is the gateway to ancient Ephesus. Explore its remarkably preserved ruins, including the Library of Celsus and Great Theatre. Afterwards, return to Kusadasi to browse bazaars or unwind by the scenic waterfront.
In Santorini, whitewashed villages cling to volcanic cliffs above the Aegean. While here, visit Oia for sweeping sunset views or explore the island’s ancient ruins and black-sand beaches.
Mykonos offers charming laneways, golden beaches and buzzing nightlife. Spend time in Little Venice or visit the sacred ruins of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Dock in Athens (Piraeus) and walk through ancient history. Visit the Parthenon atop the Acropolis, then explore Plaka’s winding streets, tavernas and boutiques.
In Katakolon, visit Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Wander through ancient ruins, including the Temple of Zeus and the original stadium.
Corfu charms with Venetian architecture and olive groves. Discover its UNESCO-listed old town, or relax by the crystal-clear Ionian Sea.
