Experience the magic of the Classical Greece Cruise, visiting the most famous and popular Greek islands, including Mykonos, Santorini and Crete, with departures from Athens almost every week between May and October.
Enjoy a harmonious balance between conventional cruising and private yachting, along with an exciting voyage of discovery, unraveling the wonders of Classical Greece. The beautiful Cyclades, Kea, Santorini, Mykonos and the neighboring UNESCO-protected archaeological isle of Delos. Crete, the largest and southern most Greek island. The crystal blue waters of the island of Kythira, a hidden gem of the Aegean sea. The Peloponnese with Monemvasia and Nafplion historical treasures.
On a boutique cruise, you will be pampered and spoilt by a highly professional crew, because unlike the mega-ship cruises, these cruises are intimate, friendly, professionally served and of very high quality. With the ratio of guests to crew at almost two to one, you will want for nothing at any moment. The number of guests on board means you can make new friends and get to know almost everyone during your time on board.
These smaller boutique ships can access ports that the bigger ships cannot and the itinerary means you can see and do more in a week as you will really feel intimate with the Greek islands.
