About This Cruise
The 21 Night Mediterranean from Athens to Dubai: Greece, Cyprus & Egypt is a 21-night one-way itinerary aboard Norwegian Sun. You board in Piraeus (Athens) and disembark in Dubai, calling at 15 ports across 8 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Greece (Piraeus, Rhodes), Cyprus (Limassol), Egypt (Alexandria, Port Said, Port Sokhna and 2 more), Jordan (Aqaba), Saudi Arabia (Jeddah), Oman (Muscat) and 2 more.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Piraeus (Athens) and home from Dubai, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 7 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
