Why sail this route

You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 5 countries over 9 nights, starting in Istanbul and finishing in Civitavecchia (Rome), with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

The pacing runs to 10 port days — a port-packed schedule ashore.
