Discover Ancient Greece on a Greek Islands Cruise

There’s a lot to love about Greece. Gleaming white homes and blue domes, cuisine that celebrates the vibrance of local ingredients, ancient history that set the stage for the modern world—and so much more. Your journey begins in the birthplace of European civilization — Athens, before setting out on a late-night visit to the sun-kissed island of Santorini.

Then it’s onto the island of Crete with a late stay in Agios Nikolaos. We continue to two more island paradises, Rhodes and Symi, before cruising to Turkey with a late-night stay in the excavated ancient city of Ephesus. Then, we’ll return to Greece with a visit to glamorous Mykonos before returning to Athens. 

Cruise Highlights

Watch a postcard-worthy sunset from Oia on the island of Santorini.

In Agios Nikolaos, Crete, visit Lake Voulismeni, the deep waters of which have inspired many a local folk tale.

On the island of Rhodes, discover one of the best-preserved medieval cities in all of Europe.

Stroll around the small island of Symi before sampling local cuisine in the tavernas and bakeries in a place known for its seafood. 

In Ephesus, explore what was once the second largest city in the Roman Empire, including the magnificent Library of Celsus.

On Mykonos, visit ancient Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and once the religious center of the entire Aegean area.
