GREECE LUXURY CRUISES

Is there any place in the Mediterranean more spellbinding than Greece? Yes, it is the birthplace of democracy, yes, it is crammed full of history, and yes, it is everything you expect it to be. Blue-domed houses with whitewashed houses, labyrinthine streets bursting with Bougainvillea, gentle Aegean Sea meeting Sapphire skies. Topped by ubiquitous ancient ruins, guaranteed sunshine, world-class beaches and a fair amount of glamour, there is a reason why the Gods made their home here. Quite honestly, Greece offers so many wow moments that it’s hard to pick the best. Discover it all for yourself and set sail on a Greece cruise that takes in the best of the world’s oldest islands.

Destination Highlights

Santorini

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary island in the Aegean Sea, crescent-shape Santorini remains a mandatory stop on the Cycladic tourist route—even if it's necessary to enjoy the sensational sunsets from Ia, the fascinating excavations, and the dazzling white towns with a million other travellers. Called Kállisti (the "Loveliest") when first settled, the island has now reverted to its subsequent name of Thira, after the 9th-century-BC Dorian colonizer Thiras.

Mykonos

Put firmly on the map by Jackie O in the 1960s, Mykonos town—called Hora by the locals—remains the Saint-Tropez of the Greek islands. The scenery is memorable, with its whitewashed houses, Little Venice, the Kato Myli ridge of windmills, and Kastro, the town's medieval quarter. Its cubical two- or three-story houses and churches, with their red or blue doors and domes and wooden balconies, have been long celebrated as some of the best examples of classic Cycladic architecture.

Athens

It's no wonder that all roads lead to the fascinating and maddening metropolis of Athens. Lift your eyes 200 feet above the city to the Parthenon, its honey-colour marble columns rising from a massive limestone base, and you behold architectural perfection that has not been surpassed in 2,500 years. But, today, this shrine of classical form dominates a 21st-century boomtown. To experience Athens—Athína in Greek—fully is to understand the essence of Greece: ancient monuments surviving centuries, startling beauty amid the streets and tradition juxtaposed with modernity.

Discover more

Rhodes

Early travellers described Rhodes as a town of two parts: a castle or high town (Collachium) and a lower city. Today Rhodes town—sometimes referred to as Ródos town—is still a city of two parts: the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site that incorporates the high town and lower city, and the modern metropolis, or New Town, spreading away from the walls that encircle the Old Town.

Discover more

Corfu

Corfu town today is a vivid tapestry of cultures—a sophisticated weave, where charm, history, and natural beauty blend. Located about midway along the island's east coast, this spectacularly lively capital is the cultural heart of Corfu and has a remarkable historic centre that was declared a UNESCO designated as a World Heritage Site in 2007.

What to do on a Greece Cruise?

DO MORE ON SHORE

Infused with mythology, history and stunning views at every street corner, a Greece luxury cruise has the advantage of offering a plethora of choice! From throbbing cities such as Athens – and its deep rooted history to where life has a slower pace: villages perched high on hilltops, straddling some of the world’s most picturesque views. Or maybe you want to get your hands dirty? There is no better way than getting under the skin of a culture than through its food, so why not enjoy a Greek cooking class? Or toast the aeons of culture with an exclusive winery tour. Whatever you want to do, there is no shortage of entertainment. We’re excited to share just a snapshot of excursions with you below, but in a land that dates from 800 BC, this just scratches the surface.

Greece

DID YOU KNOW?

Drinking Greece’s national drink – Ouzo (ooh-zo) – is not for the faint heated. At 40% proof, the dry, aniseed flavoured liqueur is mixed with water (like a French Pastis), as is very much part of the way of life. Greeks love this drink so much that there are countless ouzo bars across Greece called ouzeries (ooh-zeh-REE-es). These are casual places that specialize in many different types of ouzo, but even more importantly are popular for their tantalizing array of appetizers known as mezethes (meh-ZEH-thes). These savoury small plates are an essential component of the social side of ouzo drinking, and essential to making sure that no one gets overwhelmed by the “ouzo effect”!
