Greece

Enchanting History, Sun-Kissed Isles, and Aegean Wonders Await

With thousands of different islands that can be explored, a Greek island cruise is one of the most popular travel options. Mykonos, Crete, Ithaca, Rhodes, and Santorini are all can’t-miss destinations, and each island has its own culture and memorable experiences to enjoy. Santorini’s picturesque backdrop and cliff-top towns featuring traditional white buildings with blue roofs are world-famous. In addition to the breathtaking views, Santorini also has unique black volcanic sand beaches, and there is no shortage of romance. Mykonos boasts decadent parties, five-star hotels, and a bohemian allure that draws celebrities year-round. If you’re looking for glitz and glamor, Mykonos is the perfect luxury Greek cruise destination. Really, there’s a Greek island for everyone, no matter what you want to get out of your cruise.

If all the island hopping of a Greek island cruise isn’t your thing, there are still plenty of other luxury Greece cruises and destinations to choose from. The port of Athens gives you access to a wealth of historic sites like the Parthenon, Acropolis, Temple of Hephaestus, and more, alongside museums and the charming neighborhoods of Plaka and Monastiraki. The Athens Riviera is a world-renowned beach destination that never goes out of style, with cruises in this area stopping for swims and amazing meals.

The hard part about Greece cruises won’t be finding places to visit but narrowing down all your options and deciding how you want to see them. Most luxury cruise lines have a variety of trips and experiences to choose from, and their ships offer different onboard amenities as well. Holland America offers a mix of popular attractions and seldom-visited “hidden gems” of the Greek isles, and their megaships are packed with amenities. Viking Ocean Cruises has cruises to Greece that also visit other scenic and historic parts of the Mediterranean on smaller, more intimate ships with more personalized and attentive service, and Windstar Cruise ships are even more indulgent and luxurious. Silversea, Seabourn, and Ponant are a few more premier luxury cruise lines that allow you to experience all Greece has to offer.

There are so many gorgeous and historic parts of Greece, you really can’t make a wrong choice when looking at Greece cruises.
