Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Piraeus
Depart 20:00
The ancient harbour of Athens and Greece's principal cruise port. Ferries fan out to the Aegean islands from its quays, while the Acropolis, the Plaka district and the National Archaeological Museum sit a short metro ride inland.
- Gateway to Athens
- Acropolis
- Aegean ferries
- Day2
Páros
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 20:00
A Cycladic island in the Aegean Sea, known for its white marble and laid-back harbour villages. The old port of Parikia and the fishing village of Naoussa anchor a landscape of whitewashed lanes, Byzantine churches and a string of sandy bays.
- Naoussa village
- Panagia Ekatontapiliani
- Cycladic beaches
- Day3
Kusadasi
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 21:00
A resort town on Turkey's Aegean coast that serves as the cruise gateway to ancient Ephesus, one of the best-preserved classical cities in the Mediterranean. Pigeon Island guards the harbour, and the marble Library of Celsus lies a short drive inland.

- Library of Celsus
- Pigeon Island
- Day4
Ermoupoli, Syra
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
The capital of the Cyclades, on the island of Syros in the Aegean Sea. Unlike its whitewashed neighbours, it is a grand 19th-century port town of neoclassical mansions, a marble main square and a tiered hillside of Catholic and Orthodox quarters.
- Miaouli Square
- Apollon Theatre
- Ano Syros
- Day5
At Sea
- Day6
Dubrovnik
Arrive 12:00 · Depart 23:00
A walled city on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, its limestone old town wrapped in sea-facing ramparts above the Adriatic. Ships call here for the marble main street of Stradun, the circuit of the city walls and the cable car to Mount Srđ.

- Stradun
- Mount Srđ cable car
- Day7
Hvar Island
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 16:00
A long, sun-soaked island off the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, known for lavender fields and a marble-paved harbour town. A hilltop Venetian fortress overlooks the bay, and small boats reach the wooded Pakleni islets just offshore.
- Spanish Fortress
- Lavender fields
- Pakleni Islands
- Day8
Fusina
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00
A mainland port on the Venetian Lagoon in northeast Italy, used as the cruise gateway to Venice. A short water crossing reaches St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal and the maze of bridges that make up the historic island city.

- Grand Canal
- Day9
Rovinj
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00
A fishing town on the western coast of Croatia's Istrian peninsula, its old quarter set on a former island in the Adriatic. Pastel houses rise to the hilltop bell tower of St. Euphemia's church, while cobbled lanes and a cluster of nearby islets give it an Italianate air.

- old town lanes
- Istrian coast
- Day10
Split
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00
A Croatian port on the Dalmatian coast, built quite literally inside the walls of a Roman emperor's retirement palace. Diocletian's Palace still forms the living old town, its cellars and courtyards woven through with cafes, shops and the cathedral.
- Diocletian's Palace
- Riva promenade
- Marjan Hill
- Day11
Kotor
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 19:00

- San Giovanni fortress
- Day12
At Sea

Mykonos
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 23:55

- Chora town
- Day14
Milos
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 21:00
A volcanic island in the Greek Cyclades, ringed by some of the most unusual coastline in the Aegean. The white cliffs and sea caves of Sarakiniko, the fishing village of Klima and the bay of Adamas draw visitors ashore.
