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
Rhodes
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 20:00
The largest of Greece's Dodecanese islands, off the Turkish coast, with one of Europe's best-preserved medieval walled towns. The Old Town keeps the cobbled Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master, while Lindos and its acropolis lie down the coast.

- Palace of the Grand Master
- Lindos Acropolis
- 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
Hvar Island
Arrive 10:00 · Depart 23:00
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
- Day7
Split
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00
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
- Day8
Fusina
Arrive 08:00
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.
