The highlights of this cruise
Turkey and Greece offer the perfect blend of culture, history and lifestyle. The impressive sultans’ palaces in Istanbul are the prelude to a splendid cruise through the Aegean Sea.
Start your cruise with an overnight stay on board in the port of the vibrant metropolis of Istanbul. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace and a boat trip* on the Bosporus are just some of the many options available to you here. During the passage through the Dardanelles, the strait that connects the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara, you will experience magnificent views before Kusadasi welcomes you with its multifaceted old town. In Bodrum, a fascinating panorama of small bays and secluded beaches opens up to you on an excursion with a traditional wooden boat* while Marmaris beckons with the famous Dalyan delta* and the ruins of Kaunos*. With its old mansions, the harbour of Simi is one of the most picturesque in the Aegean. Agios Nikolaos on Crete is perfect for a hike* along Mirabello Bay. Stroll through the winding alleys of Santorini along the blue-and-white houses nestling against the edge of the crater before the picture-book beaches of the island of Naxos promise idyllic relaxation. Three of Greece’s most important excavation sites – Tiryns*, Mycenae* and Epidaurus* – await you in Nauplia at the end of your cruise through the stunning Aegean before your adventure comes to an end in the port city of Piraeus (Athens).
* The pre- and post-cruise programmes and shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
