Thessaloniki, Greece
Today's port of call is Thessaloniki on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea. This Greek port city showcases a rich Roman, Ottoman and Byzantine history, especially in the upper town Ano Poli district, Archaeology Museum, and White Tower Museum. Much of the city centre was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1917 and the 1920s re-build resulted in a contemporary city complete with a vibrant culture and the annual Thessaloniki Film Festival. The southeast of the city is home to fine beaches on the Halkidiki Peninsula or you can simply sit and people-watch on the Platia Elefterias and Platia Aristoltelous main squares. Culture fans can discover the City Walls, White Tower, Palace of Galerius, Rotunda, Galerian Arch, Roman Market and Theatre, Roman Baths and the Nymphaion close at hand. The UNESCO-listed Ancient Site of Vergina and also the Ancient City and Archaeological Museum of Pella are also accessible within a few hours’ drive.

Kusadasi, Turkey
The beach resort of Kuşadasi nestles on Turkey's western Aegean coastline. Stroll along the seafront promenade and around the marina and harbour; perhaps stop for lunch at a waterside eatery or sip a glass of ice-cold beer as you take in the view. Pay a visit the impressive 16th-century Kaleici Mosque or spend a few hours relaxing on the popular Ladies Beach. Take a walk along the causeway across to the off-shore Pigeon Island (Guvercin Adasi) to explore its walled Byzantine castle. Fun times for all the family are on the menu on the lazy river, zip lines, waterslides, and water-coasters at Adaland Aquapark on the outskirts of the town. Kusadasi is also gateway to the classical ruins at nearby Ephesus; highlights include: Cukurici Mound, Ayasuluk Hill and its Selçuk Fortress, Saint John Basilica, Isa Bey Mosque, Isa Bey Bath, Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the World), House of the Virgin Mary, and Ephesus Ancient City itself.
7
Heraklion, Crete
Sitting on Crete's northern coast, the capital city of Iraklion (aka Heraklion) is Greece's fourth-largest city. Stroll through the Old Town and view the 16th-century Koules fortress and also pay a visit to Saint Minas Cathedral and Church of Saint Titos. Indulge in retail therapy at the designer boutiques on Daedalou Street or discover local handicrafts in the shops along 1866 Street. Explore the ancient artefacts at Archaeological Museum of Heraklion and uncover Cretan cultural heritage at Historical Museum of Crete. View the flora, fauna, and wildlife displays at The Natural History Museum of Crete and get up close to the colourful marine life at CretAquarium - Thalassocosmos. Venture out of the city to learn about the story of the Minoan civilisation at the Palace of Knossos.
8-9
Santorini, Greece
Curving around a majestic caldera, Santorini is one of the prettiest of the Greek Isles. Hop on the tender boat ashore, where the cable car will whisk you up to the cliff-top village of Thira with its quaint streets filled with restaurants, bars and shops. Pay a visit to the cave houses at the beautiful village of Oia before heading down the steps to Amoudi Bay to feast on fresh seafood. Taste the unique beers at the Donkey Brewery close to the black pebbled sands of Kamari Beach. Explore the island's history at the Akrotiri archaeological site or admire the dramatic coastline by catamaran.
9-10
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos sits in the Aegean Sea with traditional white-washed houses and bright-blue waters. Wander the twisting narrow lanes, which were originally designed to confuse pirate invaders, and discover quaint shops and boutiques. Visit stylish beach bars, modern restaurants and see the iconic 16th-century Venetian windmills which overlook Mykonos town — the island's capital.
10
Milos, Greece
The volcanic Greek island of Milos sits in the Aegean Sea and is the southernmost island in the Cyclades group. This picturesque spot is renowned for its 75 beaches, thrilling history, and tasty seafood. The Venus de Milo - which now sits in the Louvre in Paris - was famously discovered on the island and there is a replica on display the Archaeological Museum of Milos in the island's capital, Plaka. You can also view the beautiful Panaghia Thalassitra and Panaghia Korfiatissa churches and the impressive Venetian Castle in Plaka. Admire the unique moonscape of Sarakiniko overlooking Sifnos and Kimolos Islands and visit the ancient city of Fylakopi.

Health & Fitness

A world of wellbeing (and workouts)

The Sozo Experience is an entire deck dedicated to the kind of luxury onboard lifestyle that takes R&R to a whole new stratosphere. Sozo is a Greek word meaning healing in mind, body, and spirit. Which is exactly what you’ll experience in these indulgent surroundings.

Drift away on a sea of tranquility in the Sozo Spa, floating from massage to manicure, facials to full body treatments. Let our skillful stylists and beauty experts dial up your natural radiance in the Glow Bar. And sail into serenity in the Drift Den : get steamy in the Thermae or unwind in the relaxation area. You’ll even find a hidden gem of a pool where you can take a refreshing dip before heading back to the sauna.

Stay in motion on the ocean, whatever your fitness levels. Work up a sweat, build your biceps (triceps, quads, and all), or stretch it out on the mats. Prefer the open air? take in the views as you pace (or plod) around the outdoor jogging track.

Kids & Teens

We appreciate you will need a break from the little ones from time to time so we have organised fun activities at various times throughout the day. Provided there are sufficient numbers of kids on board, our professional team will keep your kids entertained.
